Sources close to the Royal Family have just confirmed major news related to Infanta Sofía. According to them, the young woman's intention is to return to one of her greatest passions: soccer.
The youngest daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia is already preparing to begin a new chapter with her imminent entry into university. This transition not only represents an academic advancement, but also the opportunity to return to her great hobby.
According to sources close to Zarzuela cited by Monarquía Confidencial, Infanta Sofía is determined to return to soccer and to train regularly. In fact, her intention is to join a women's team, whether at the university level or at a club near her future place of residence.
Infanta Sofía makes an important decision
Since childhood, Infanta Sofía has been an enthusiast of sports and, in particular, soccer. So much so that, during her school years at Santa María de los Rosales, the ball was a constant presence during all her recesses and daily activities.
Her connection with sports has been a constant throughout her childhood and adolescence. Proof of this is the excitement she always shows when she attends any event related to this high-profile sport.
However, during her time at UWC Atlantic College in Wales, soccer took a back seat in Infanta Sofía's life. The academic demands of the International Baccalaureate and the lack of specific sports infrastructure limited her practice. Nevertheless, her interest never disappeared.
Therefore, looking ahead to her new academic stage, the young woman's intention is to regain the balance between her studies and this physical activity. She considers this balance essential for her emotional and physical well-being.
Now, as a result of this information, the aforementioned outlet has stated that Universidad Autónoma de Madrid has become one of the most likely options for her to continue her studies.
In addition, the same sources have highlighted that Infanta Sofía wants to experience this new stage as just another student, without privileges or distinctions. Therefore, the possibility of training with women's clubs in northern Madrid, likely near Las Rozas, is being considered as a discreet and quite accessible alternative.
Unlike her sister, Princess Leonor, who is focused on her military training, Sofía has shown interest in areas such as the environment, art, and education. She has also expressed her commitment to equality in sports and equitable access for girls.
This new step symbolizes more than a return to soccer: it's an affirmation of her personal identity. Infanta Sofía is building her own path apart from institutional prominence, but in harmony with the values of the Crown and her generation.
