Although Olga Carmona led the Spanish women’s football team to win the World Cup, she did not get a chance to celebrate the World Cup victory due to a sad news that came within minutes of winning the World Cup. The Spanish soccer federation informed about her father’s death to her.
Her father had passed away before two days to the final. Her mother and relatives came to the finals and decided not to declare the incident till the end of finals.
However, Olga managed to participate in normal at the trophy presentation.
She got emotional on this sad news and tweeted (X) with a shot of kissing medal “And without knowing it, I had my Star before the game started,” “I know that you gave me the strength to achieve something unique. I know that you were watching me tonight and that you are proud of me. Rest in peace, dad.”
