The unconditional support of the Kings to the Spanish team over the years

The Spanish national football team made its debut at the World Cup in Qatar last Wednesday and exceeded all expectations. La Roja faced Costa Roca at Al Thumama Stadium and secured a historic victory that made it 7-0. King Felipe VI lavishly supported his team from the stands, while Queen Letizia traveled to Barcelona on the occasion of the session on mental health and the world of work on the opening day of the 20th anniversary of the Local Network of Labor Technical Bureaus of the Provincial Council. It seems that her relationship with soccer has changed since she stopped being a princess, as we watched her enjoy every match like no other.

During her time as Princess of Asturias, Doña Letizia attended two World Cups. In 2006, he was present at the round of 16 match in which Spain lost to France, and the monarch watched him from Germany. In 2010, Felipe and Letizia went to South Africa to see La Roja play. At that time, the royal attended Spain’s debut victory against Switzerland. Three weeks later, the then Princes went to the final against the Netherlands. Both shared a box with Queen Sofía and Guillermo and Máxima from the Netherlands, with whom they enjoyed a pleasant game and many moments of fun.

In 2014, King Felipe had just ascended the throne and the Spanish team had no support in Brazil, although the monarch did not hesitate to place a replica of the previous World Cup trophy in his office as a gesture of support for his team. Four years later, he traveled to Russia to support La Roja in the round of 16 against the hosts of the World Cup. Spain failed to win and Don Felipe went to the changing rooms to comfort the players. For her part, Mrs. Letizia did not go to Russia to enjoy the match of the selection.

Felipe and Letizia have shown their dedication to the world of sports, something that goes beyond football. These were presented to the kings Spanish handball team shirts in audience at the Palacio de la Zarzuela. After becoming European champions for the second time in a row, the players decided to have a detail with Letizia and Felipe, who proudly posed with their gift. It is worth noting the work of the monarch when it comes to giving visibility to the women’s teams, a field that is still in the undeserved background. The monarch tries to instill these values ​​in her two daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, whom we have already seen in more than one sporting event.

Iker Casillas and the daughters of the kings arranged a tender meeting with the Copa del Rey as the protagonist. Sofía and Leonor gave captain Iker Casillas a shy kiss on the cheek, who lowered the trophy to their height so they could touch it and get a closer look. Although they were a bit shy, they finally looked curiously at the trophy that the keeper showed them. Sources close to the Spanish royal family assure this The Infanta is a big football fan, a sport he practices regularly. The young woman plays as a midfielder in a Madrid team and it seems that she is not bad at all.

Leonor and Sofía left Spain without their parents to witness in Bretford, Spain, and Denmark, and took the opportunity to go to the locker room and congratulate the team on the victory. The little sister enjoyed the experience the most given her love for this sport, and both posed with such a smile on the shirt that the players decided to give them as souvenirs.

Infanta Sofía was injured during a family match. In August 2020, we saw her walking in Mallorca using a crutch, and although it was initially said she had suffered a fall for which she received five stitches, the reality was different. La Infanta was playing a match in Marivent with her cousins ​​and the injury resulted from a bad blow during the match.
