It was a historical moment when The Spanish Women’s Football team won the FIFA Women’s Football World Cup final against England’s Lionesses. And supporting the team from the front row was Queen Letizia of Spain with her younger daughter Infanta Sofia. After dropping Leonor at the Zaragoza Military Academy on Thursday, Queen Letizia left for Sydney Australia with her daughter accompanied by the Minister of Culture and Sports and Functions, Miquel Octavi Iceta.
In Australia, the Queen was received by the Spanish ambassador to the Commonwealth of Australia, Alicia Moral, and by the Consul General of Spain in Sydney, Rebaca Chantal, and local authorities. The Spanish Royal Family has been supporting their national players on various platform for a long time.

Queen Letizia met with the women’s team in June before they left for the world cup and wished them good luck. At that time Letizia was presented with a team Jersey with number 12 on it that Letizia was holding today. Earlier this year, Infanta Sofia joined her father King Felipe at the Final of the Spanish Football Championship. While Felipe attended the French Open and Wimbledon to support the Spanish Tennis Ace Carlos Alvarez. King Felipe did not join his wife and daughter because on Monday the discussion on the next President of the Government will start and the flight from Spain to Australia is more than 20 hours.
