Ashley Sanchez is feelin’ it

The 23-year-old Mexican America soccer player, a member of the U.S. women’s national soccer team, has teamed up with Mexican rapper Niña Dioz for the new ‘Donde We All Play’ spot for Taco Bell.

Ashley SanchezThe spot is airing now during the FIFA World Cup.

It features Diaz’s recently debuted track “Siéntelo,” which is about moving forward and pushing the boundaries.

“I’m so excited they gave me a platform to elevate my voice through one of the biggest stages in the world because I’m able to represent the Latinx community, being Mexico’s first openly queer rapper and showing the young Latin community that anything is possible,” Dioz said in a statement.

Sanchez added: “I’ve been playing soccer since I was young and to become one of the few Latinas to ever play for the U.S. women’s national team is a huge accomplishment, especially growing up and not seeing much Latin representation in sports. Working with Taco Bell on the campaign allowed me to fuse my cultural heritage and passion for soccer as well as love for the brand to reach a wider audience in hopes that it’ll inspire the younger Latin generation to do what they love.”
