Description
President of Brazil's football club Palmeiras, Leila Pereira, is one of the few women running a major soccer team and a very successful one at that. In a male-dominated industry, Pereira says being a woman has been the "biggest obstacle" she has had to overcome. "In a macho Italian club, I had to prove myself twice as hard," she says. Under her leadership, Palmeiras won the Brazilian league and produced the country's rising star, Endrick.
