OUR MISSION

Almas Libres aims to create safe and inclusive spaces that empower women and girls by bridging the gap in access to opportunities and resources through affordable programs across three pillars: sport, culture, and technology. By enhancing physical health, fostering cultural awareness, and driving technological innovation, we aim to nurture future leaders and cultivate a strong, supportive network that creates lasting, positive change in communities.

DID YOU KNOW? Almas Libres is an non-profit organisation meaning profits from our events, workshops, and trainings are reinvested into the communities we serve. This strengthens our mission of providing more women and girls with access to life-changing opportunities through the power of sport, culture, and technology.

OUR Community

Meet Our Team

A community born from the power of a single football but built on the collective efforts of individuals within it. 

From hosting Barcelona’s #first women’s street football tournament in 2021 to organising weekly street football classes with our team of qualified coaches, our community is growing! We recently caught up with our Head Coach, @carolmarin8, to learn more about how she got started in football and what inspired her to join @__almaslibres.

𝙷𝙾𝚆 𝙳𝙸𝙳 𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝙵𝙸𝚁𝚂𝚃 𝙶𝙴𝚃 𝙸𝙽𝚅𝙾𝙻𝚅𝙴𝙳 𝙸𝙽 𝙵𝙾𝙾𝚃𝙱𝙰𝙻𝙻? I’ve practically had a ball at my feet since I was born, always playing football with my older brother. My family has always loved football and encouraged me to pursue it from a young age - not just on the #street with other kids but also on a football team, even though I was the only girl.

I have been working with Almas Libres for over a year now, at Almas Libres, I want the women to enjoy training no matter their skill level, to be excited to come back each week, and to feel fulfilled by doing what they love. I want more women to believe they can do it, to know that football isn’t just for men. In the broader football world, I’ve spent many years in women’s elite #football, and the landscape has changed so much from when I first started. More girls are playing, clubs are committing to women’s sections, conditions are improving, and girls now have female role models. Every weekend, young girls come to watch us, and they want to be like us. That’s the most fulfilling part - leaving an #impact and paving the way.

Almas Libres x Basketball

Over the summer, we met with our team of coaches and community to hear why they chose to be part of @__almaslibres. 

Over the last four years, we’ve watched this community grow stronger, together. From the dedicated souls who quietly coordinate behind the scenes to make the classes and events possible, to the passionate coaches who lead every session, it’s always been a team effort. Every success we’ve had is a reflection of the heart, hard work, and shared commitment of everyone involved.

Our Story

The question we are often asked is, what made you start a non-profit organisation for women and girls?

We are Almas Libres! 

A few weeks ago, we caught up with the @__almaslibres basketball team. For many of our coaches, being in front of the camera isn’t second nature - they prefer to be behind the scenes, making a real #impact on the women in our community through their passion for coaching.

At Almas Libres, we believe in celebrating every woman who lifts another woman up, and today we’re showcasing one of coaches, @mariaseguimaso, who embodies that spirit. Because real strength is quiet, honest, and supportive - just like a true team that stands #together on and off the court 🏀
