Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's newly elected president, has made history as the country's first female leader. But beyond her political achievements, her love for football has caught the attention of fans worldwide.
From Manchester United to Real Madrid
In a surprising revelation, Sheinbaum admitted she once supported Manchester United but later switched allegiance to Real Madrid. "I used to be a Manchester United fan, but now I support Real Madrid," she said during a recent interview.
A Scientist Turned Politician
Before entering politics, Sheinbaum was an accomplished environmental scientist. Her academic background includes a PhD in energy engineering, which she later applied to her role as Mexico City's mayor.
Breaking Barriers
Sheinbaum's election marks a significant milestone for Mexico. Not only is she the first woman to hold the office, but she's also the first person of Jewish heritage to lead the predominantly Catholic nation.
Football Diplomacy
Her football preferences have sparked conversations about how sports can bridge political divides. While some fans tease her about her changed allegiance, others appreciate her openness about this personal passion.
As Sheinbaum prepares to take office in October, the world watches how this scientist-turned-politician will tackle Mexico's challenges while maintaining her love for the beautiful game.
