Milagros Huriñanco becomes first Liga del Oeste woman to pass Consejo Federal test | OneFootball

Referee Milagros Huriñanco, from Cholila, has become the first woman from the Liga de Fútbol del Oeste del Chubut to pass the Consejo Federal de Fútbol physical test.

According to SuperDepor.com, the assessment was conducted by former referee Juan Pablo Pompei. The result marks a significant step in her career, placing her among a select group of officials cleared after meeting the body’s demands.

Until now, representatives of the Liga del Oeste who had passed Consejo Federal exams were all men, from Esquel or the Comarca Andina.

Huriñanco’s approval sets a precedent for women’s refereeing in the Chubut cordillera and opens the way for more women to pursue training and evaluation within Argentine football.

The milestone is regarded as historic in the region.
