Introduction: the growth in female soccer practices poses a great challenge in professional training due to the high risk of anterior cruciate ligament rupture from the beginning of practice for female soccer players who have great expectations for the future.
Objective: to determine the risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament rupture in young soccer players.
Methods: literature review focused on anatomo-physiological, psychological and social variables. Female soccer players from 14 to 22 years old who follow a preventive program called “FIFA11+” are taken into account. Scope of the study: sports facilities (Estudiantes de La Plata, Defensa y Justicia in person, San Lorenzo de Almagro virtually).
Results: wide benefit in those players who received support and follow-up by multidisciplinary teams in their sports practice.
Conclusion: the heterogeneity of factors affecting each player was addressed by multidisciplinary teams, achieving benefits in their present and future. The proposed prevention from the first steps of scheduled and progressive training practices is the necessary strategy that showed highly positive results that resulted in a decrease of anterior cruciate ligament rupture injuries of the knee.
