The Nuevo Mirandilla in Cádiz and La Cartuja in Seville will be the venues for the final four of the Nations League in which the world champion Spanish team will fight for a ticket for the first time to the Olympic Games, which included the women’s tournament. soccer in Atlanta 1996.
The team led by Montse Tomé learned about the roadmap to be followed in Paris 2024 a fortnight ago, and this Tuesday they already knew the scenarios that will witness this new chapter within the elite of women’s football, after the past Summer, feminine Spain will change its own history to take the leap towards the sky of the Antipodes. The path involves defeating the Netherlands in a match that will take place on February 23 at the Nuevo Mirandilla stadium in Cádiz. A complicated rival that La Roja knows well after beating them in the quarterfinals of the last World Cup with goals from Mariona Caldentey and Salma Paralluelo in extra time of a very close and very physical match.

However, the team finished the group stage as the outstanding leader, leaving out a power like Sweden, which will be outside the Games for the first time in its history. One of the setbacks for the team that currently leads the FIFA ranking, and which was also known this Tuesday, is the surgical intervention of Alexia Putellas.
