Spain’s Olga Carmona scored the only goal in the Women’s World Cup final against England. After scoring, she lifted her jersey to reveal a word written on her undershirt, “Merchi,” in honor of her best friend’s deceased mother. Carmona dedicated the team’s victory to their family. Unbeknownst to Carmona, her own father had also passed away. She later acknowledged her father’s death on social media, expressing her gratitude for his support. The Spanish Football Federation offered their support to Carmona during this difficult time. Carmona’s family had chosen not to inform her of the news before the match to avoid affecting her mental state. Her mother and siblings were present at the final match. The federation confirmed that Carmona’s father passed away on Friday after a long illness. Spain’s team will celebrate their victory with a public event in Madrid. Carmona described the day of the final as both the best and worst day of her life, dedicating the win to her father.
