'I'm prepared to sacrifice my career to benefit women's football in Argentina'

The Argentinian football federation needs to do more to support women's football, that's according to one of it's players...

Macarena Sanchez has decided to sue her governing body because she believes they don't support the women’s game. She says they are denying her basic rights such as a salary, places to train, shoes, medical coverage and clothing. The Argentina federation and Sanchez’s former club in Buenos Aires have yet to comment on the case.

Sportshour has contacted the federation for a response.
