AC Milan Women Take on Mexican Challenge in Her Nations Tour
Something big is coming to women's football—and it's starting in Mexico. AC Milan Women are packing their bags for the Her Nations Tour, squaring off against two of the top squads from Liga MX Femenil: Rayadas de Monterrey and Tuzos de Pachuca. From June 9 to June 16, 2024, these three teams will do more than just play friendly matches. They'll be part of a push to rewrite how the world views the women's game.
If you've been craving action outside of Europe's top leagues, this tour promises plenty. AC Milan will hit the field at Estadio BBVA, facing Rayadas on June 12, and then travel to the famous Hidalgo Stadium for a June 15 game with Tuzos. For Milan, it's their first time touring South America after their spotlight run at the 2022 Women's Cup in the U.S. This time, it isn’t just about trophies—it's about shifting the conversation around women’s football entirely.
Pushing Boundaries and Promoting Equality in Women's Football
The whole event runs on the simple motto: 'This is Her Sport, this is Her Tour – it's time to change the game.' These words aren’t empty. The organizers want to do something more than host a few matches—they want to show girls everywhere that there's space, and respect, for them on the world football stage. With Rayadas familiar with the international spotlight—having already played in the Women's International Champions Cup—and Tuzos stepping up for the growth of the women's competition in the Americas, it’s a promising mix.
Why does this matter? Because for fans in Mexico and beyond, chances to see European giants like AC Milan Women play local teams are rare. The games become a bridge, connecting football cultures and letting fans compare styles, talent, and passion up-close. Milan's involvement shows their ongoing commitment to letting their women's squad compete on every stage, not just in Italy's Serie A Femminile. In fact, it’s part of the club’s bigger plan to champion equality and open doors for young players with big dreams. They don’t want to just play—the aim is to inspire a movement.
Rayadas, no strangers to these showdowns, will welcome Milan for what’s now their fifth international appearance in front of home fans. Pachuca, with its reputation for bold, attacking play, complete the lineup. For AC Milan, these aren't just warm-up games; they're a test of their strength against teams powered by the fastest-growing women’s football scene in the world. The Her Nations Tour sets the stage for more tournaments like this. With three ambitious squads meeting in Mexico, anyone who tunes in is guaranteed a taste of where women’s football is truly headed.
