Florencia Bonsegundo plays the game the same way she lives her life — with pure passion. She runs, battles, and sacrifices for her team while displaying undeniable technical quality. Argentina’s style of play appears largely constructed around her abilities. With years of experience behind her, she has gained deep insights into the evolution of women’s football. Like her teammate Aldana Cometti, she cares about matters both on and off the pitch, having voiced interest in moving into football management after retirement.
Having competed in the previous two Women’s World Cups, Bonsegundo believes Argentine women’s football is experiencing its finest era. Argentina currently sits atop the qualifying standings, level on 14 points with Colombia, three ahead of Venezuela, and four ahead of Chile. With the final two CONMEBOL Nations League matches scheduled for June, finishing in the top two would secure qualification for the 2027 Brazil World Cup, marking an unprecedented third consecutive World Cup appearance.
In an interview with FIFA, Bonsegundo shared her views on women’s football in Argentina and worldwide, her observations on youth player development, and her future aspirations. She observed that women’s football is expanding at both the club level and within the federation, with more youth teams and girls getting involved in the sport than ever before. Many football academies and schools have been established that simply did not exist previously, reflecting the profound changes the sport has undergone since the 2019 France World Cup.
