A day and a half after making history and after almost 24 hours of travel, the Spanish team has landed in Madrid to celebrate its first Women’s World Cup. The players have achieved glory by beating England in the final and they are celebrating in style with the fans. The esplanade of the Puente del Rey in Madrid Río is the place chosen for this Monday’s party, which began at 9:00 p.m. This location in the capital has already hosted the celebration of the men’s team for its 2010 World Cup, it is located a few meters from the Príncipe Pío station and has a capacity for 20,000 people. The soccer players arrived at the Barajas Airport and traveled the streets of Madrid in an open-top bus until they reached the scene of the festivities. The champions have crossed the center of the capital (from the Puerta de Alcalá to the Plaza de España) very slowly, due to the large number of fans who crowd the streets despite the sweltering heat. Juan Magán, Vicco, Camela, DJ Michenlo and Farga have been the artists in charge of entertaining the fans waiting in Madrid Río.
The historical milestone for the national team, as unexpected as it is deserved, has evidenced the unstoppable progress of women’s football in Spain, which has been able to gather large audiences in decisive matches. In addition, the success comes just one year after 15 players sent the Federation a letter declaring themselves unselectable due to discrepancies with the coach. Jorge Vilda’s team has overcome that schism to bring the World Cup to Spain. The celebration was marred by the gesture of the RFEF president, Luis Rubiales, who kissed Jenni Hermoso without consent during the trophy delivery ceremony. After the commotion generated, he was forced to apologize this morning.
