Their name — “The Lionesses” — has become a byword for courage and skill, and generations of Argentine girls have grown up wanting to wear the light-blue and white.

A World Cup dynasty

• •2010, Rosario: As hosts, Las Leonas beat the Netherlands 3–1 in front of 12,000 fans to become world champions on home soil — with the legendary Luciana Aymar named player of the tournament.
