María Fassi Eyes Third Olympic Appearance at Los Angeles 2028

As a publication deeply invested in showcasing Mexican talent and ambition, El Universal celebrates María Fassi's aspirations for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Her desire to compete for a third consecutive Olympic Games is not just a personal goal but a reflection of Mexico's growing presence and competitiveness in international sports, particularly in golf.

“

Always I have said the honor that it has meant for me to be able to play both in Tokyo and in Paris, they are two very different experiences but they are two of my favorite weeks that I have had as an athlete, so dreaming of being able to do it a third time in Los Angeles would be something unique.

Fassi's perspective on the Los Angeles Games being "a little closer to Mexico" resonates with a national sentiment of pride and anticipation. The potential for increased support from the Mexican community in the U.S. and from back home is a significant motivator. This proximity, coupled with her past Olympic experiences, fuels her determination to perform at her best and bring honor to her country.

“

Being in Los Angeles feels a little closer to Mexico, the support that we Mexicans will have, all the athletes who go, will be extraordinary, it is something that I have in mind and it is something that I work for every day.

What truly sets Fassi apart, and what El Universal wishes to highlight, is her profound understanding of legacy. While major wins and Olympic medals are important, she emphasizes the impact of inspiring future generations. Her commitment to being a role model for young girls, encouraging them to pursue their dreams in golf and beyond, speaks volumes about her character and her vision for the sport in Mexico and Latin America. This dedication to mentorship and positive influence is a narrative we are proud to share.

“

I would like to have won tournaments, Majors, an Olympic medal, but the legacy I would like to leave is that of being a person who managed to inspire and touch the hearts of many people. Fortunately, I get to do it through golf and it is my avenue to inspire future generations, but also off the field to be able to help people who pursue their dreams, who work to be a better version. I hope that one day I can go to sleep knowing that I helped many people.
