Women in Sports: 17 Year Old Pinay Mayumi Pacheco Drives with a Force for Liverpool FC

There is a young Filipina making waves in the Football Association’s Women’s Super League, the highest league of women’s football in England, and she is 17-year-old Mayumi “Maz” Pacheco.

The young defender has already represented England in the Women’s Under-16s and Under-17s levels. She was also called up for the England Under-19s team, but due to her first team commitment, she has to miss the camps and was instead told by the coach to be physically and mentally prepared for next year’s Under 19s competition.
