The Deportivo Alavés women's team, known as the Gloriosas, is set to compete again in the top tier of Spanish football, reinforcing the club's project and dedication to its women's section.

After two years of rebuilding, the Gloriosas, the women's team of Deportivo Alavés, have secured their return to the First Division. This achievement underscores the club's commitment to women's football, a section established in 2017 following the absorption of Gasteizko Neskak.
The institution located on Cervantes promenade has quickly ensured that football is no longer solely a male domain in Álava. The seed planted in the late 90s has blossomed in recent years, with Dafne Triviño's role being crucial in the transition between past and present, with an eye towards the future.
Football is the king of sports, and women's football is experiencing a golden age. More and more girls dream of becoming footballers, and on playgrounds, the ball is no longer just for boys. Having a representative from Vitoria and Álava at the highest level activates the catalytic effect that women's sports have on society.
Values such as equality can be conveyed through institutional campaigns or political speeches, but leading by example is the most effective method. Providing girls with female role models in fields like art, science, or sports is the best way to transmit these messages. While much work remains to close the gender gap in our society, the presence of female role models in all areas helps to bridge it.
