Little Milagros Hernández, just 8 years old, still can't believe what happened to her recently during a soccer match, when the women's team she plays in was disqualified by the organizers of the tournament, arguing that she was a boy.

“I like to wear my hair short because I have always had it short. I don't like long hair”, revealed“Mili”about her look and through which she spent a sad moment with her companions.

Despite her age, the little one is one of the stars of her U-11 team Omaha's Azzuri Cubs and was one of the pillars that helped the club qualify for the finals of the children's tournament in the city of Springfield, as reported by a Nebraska affiliate of ABC News.

Nobody expected that before the game that the team would play last weekend began, the organizers decided to disqualify them, assuring that they had let a boy play in his team, referring to Mili.

"She was crying, they made her cry," said Gerardo Hernández about the painful moment in which the tournament organizers informed the team members of their decision.

Despite the fact that the family and the leaders of the girl's team tried to prove with identification documents that it was a woman, the organizers' decision was final and they did not allow the team to continue participating.

The news reached the legendary player of the United States national team, Abby Wambach, who did not hesitate to send an emotional message of encouragement and encouragement to the little girl. “Dear Mili Hernández, you are wonderful in every way. Thank you for teaching us to be brave and to be light despite this difficult situation,”the former world champion and Olympic gold medalist wrote along with a video that was shared on Instagram.

“Just because I see myself as a child doesn't mean I'm a child. They have no reason to disqualify the entire team, added little Mili in her statements.

As added in the report, the organization of the children's tournament decided to refrain from commenting on the fact, they just limited themselves to saying that their lawyer would be in charge of giving details about the painful incident.
