Atletico Huila's women's team will not receive the $55,000 prize they earned by winning the Copa Libertadores Feminina as the money will be used to settle the men's team's outstanding debts, according to captain Yoreli Rincon.
Atletico beat Santos 5-3 on penalties last Sunday to claim the trophy, but midfielder Rincon subsequently posted a video to social media in which she explained they will not see the prize money:
Per RT, she said:
"For being champions we won $55,000, money that will never reach us, that goes to the men's Atletico Huila, a team that has a different president than we have.
