La Liga documents an amateur womxn’s football league in majority run by and comprised of local Latin American community in south-east London. La Liga was founded by Burgess Park community ambassadors from Latin American Multicultural Group to create a safe space for womxn to play football, to address the inequalities womxn’s teams were facing when training. The players, coaches and organisers talk about how sport can be a way to connect communities and how La Liga can help with integration of newly migrated womxn into wider community. Special thanks to Amparo Rendon, Will, and all the players and coaches.
