100 Women: Brazil's football-loving girls defy stereotypes

Women were banned from playing football in Brazil for more than 30 years and girls can still struggle to be taken seriously on the pitch.

Ana Luiza, 12, and Luiza, 13, both love football but are often teased or dismissed by the boys they play with.

They want change and are taking part in a Challenge run by BBC 100 Women to tackle these stereotypes in Brazil. A group of experts have a week to make changes which will help these two girls feel more integrated in Brazil's thriving football culture.
