Community Executive Program Interview

Mayi Cruz Blanco has been an athlete her entire life. Early on, she was a runner and archer. Today she is an avid skier, enduro-downhill biker, and most recently began kite surfing.
Cuban by birth, Mayi currently lives in Zürich where she worked until recently at FIFA as Global Head of Women’s Football Development for almost ten years. Given her former role, you might be surprised to learn that football does not number among Mayi’s many athletic activities.
“I’ve been an athlete since I was a young girl, but I’ve never played football.”
