The current success of Women's Barça is the result of years of work and sacrifice. Many players have been key to the growth of the club and the formation of a team that is unstoppable nowadays.
The former Women's Barça's footballer has had a difficult experience after DANA hit the province of Valencia on October 29. The incident has gone viral and caused commotion.
The Tragedy of Broken Trophies
Esther Romero, 36, was one of the key players for Barcelona Women's team for nine seasons (2006-2011 and 2013-2016). During that time, she won one league and two Copa de la Reina, titles that are now destroyed due to flooding.
The former player, who played 122 games for the club, faced the difficult situation of seeing her trophies become irreparable.
Her Couple's Support and the Message to the RSFF
In a gesture of support, Romero's couple, Carla Martínez, turned to X to ask the Royal Spanish Football Federation for help. "Can we do something so that she isn't a winner without a trophy?" she asked, along with photos of the damaged trophies and the footballer in the mud.
This request reflected the former player's pain at losing not only material trophies, but also memories of her career in elite soccer.
The RSFF Replies with Solidarity
The Royal Spanish soccer Federation was quick to reply to the call for help. The RSFF replied on social media, expressing its support for Romero and her family. They assured that they were working to recover the lost trophies.
"We send you a huge hug and all our encouragement and strength so that you can return to normality as soon as possible after the tragedy you have experienced," said the RSFF. The federation also highlighted its commitment to restoring the trophies of Copa de la Reina, showing solidarity upon the difficult situation.
Beyond Trophies: Soccer Solidarity
The DANA that hit Valencia not only left serious damage to Esther Romero's trophie but also affected numerous homes and properties in the region. Given this tragedy, the world of soccer has shown exemplary solidarity. From fundraisers to tributes on the fieldes, players and clubs have gone out of their way to help the victims. They are donating both their time and resources to those who need it most.
In this context, the RSFF's reply to Romero's request once again proves the unity and commitment of the sport upon such difficult situations. This gesture of solidarity is a clear example of the mutual support that characterizes Spanish soccer, especially during difficult times.
