Mónica Marchante: “Sports journalism is sick. I hear shameful questions”
The veteran communicator criticizes the physical appearance required of women in her profession “while they can be bald and fat.”
Mónica Marchante, a 58-year-old woman from Roma, attended her first football stadium for the 1982 World Cup final. She has since pursued a career in journalism, despite initial plans to study law. In 2016, security personnel at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium almost ejected her for mistakenly thinking she had stolen a microphone. Marchante has interviewed various sports figures, including presidents, footballers, and coaches, and has created documentaries for Movistar plus about athletes such as Unzué, Javier Clemente, Luis Aragonés, and Perico Delgado.
