The Spanish Federation has announced the unfortunate news of the passing of Olga Carmona’s father. Carmona, a Spanish defender who plays for Real Madrid, played a crucial role in her team’s victory in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup final by scoring the winning goal. After scoring, she displayed a shirt with the word “MERCHI” written on it, as a tribute to her best friend whose mother recently passed away.
In her post-match interview, Carmona expressed her dedication of the goal to her best friend’s family, stating, “First of all, I want to say that this victory, this achievement, goes to the mother of one of my best friends who has recently passed away. I celebrated the goal with her shirt and from here, I dedicate this to the whole family with all my love.”
Sadly, Carmona received the news of her father’s death shortly after Spain’s victory on Sunday morning.
The Spanish Federation released a statement expressing their condolences to Olga and her family, saying, “We send our most sincere hugs to Olga and her family in a moment of deep pain. We love you, Olga, you are a part of Spanish football history.”
