Palacio de la Zarzuela has stopped everything to announce something very big about Queen Letizia. No less than today, her meeting with some very beloved figures from our country will take place there.
This isn't just another event. She will receive the players of the women's national soccer team in an audience, right before they begin their participation in the UEFA Women's EURO 2025. This is a top-level sporting and social event, where the national champions will face top-tier European rivals.
Queen Letizia supports women's soccer at Palacio de la Zarzuela
The audience will take place today at Zarzuela, and it will be a clear show of Queen Letizia's commitment to women's sports, especially soccer. This time, the goal is none other than to show them all the institutional and emotional support possible ahead of the competition that will begin on July 2 in Switzerland.
Spain is part of Group B, along with Portugal, Italy, and Belgium. This is not an easy group, but the players arrive with high morale and experience, with international icons like Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmatí. Felipe VI's wife, who has been closely linked for years to the promotion of sports and female talent, has wanted to be an active part of this decisive stage for the footballers.
In a gesture that hasn't gone unnoticed, Palacio de la Zarzuela has reserved space in its official agenda exclusively for this event. This is a way to make it clear that, for the Royal House, this audience isn't a minor act. On the contrary: all other activity has been stopped so that the media spotlight falls exclusively on this meeting between the queen and our sports representatives.
Queen Letizia, committed to women's sports
Queen Letizia's support for women's sports isn't new. On numerous occasions, she has attended sporting events, award ceremonies, and recognition events for women in different disciplines.
However, this meeting, on the eve of a top-tier European competition, takes on special symbolism. This is a statement of support for a team that represents an entire country and that she accompanied when they won the World Cup.
Moreover, rumors point to a possible surprise at the event. The presence of Infanta Sofía, a great soccer fan, who could accompany her mother on this very significant day. Although Zarzuela hasn't officially confirmed it, expectations are high.
The audience also seeks to reinforce an institutional message: the Crown supports and values female talent. What better example than a group of athletes who compete at the international level and who have also paved the way in the fight for equality both on and off the field.
Beyond the sporting aspect, this meeting at Palacio de la Zarzuela has undeniable social value. The national team players have become a national symbol, not only for their victories but also for their ability to inspire new generations. Queen Letizia receiving them in an audience before the start of the EURO is a way to publicly recognize their effort, dedication, and courage.
Looking toward Switzerland: the beginning of the great adventure for the women's national soccer team
The UEFA Women's EURO 2025 will be held in Switzerland from July 2 to July 24. This will be the 14th edition of this tournament, which brings together the best teams on the continent. For Spain, this is a new opportunity to show their soccer evolution, their maturity as a team, and their leadership in women's sports.
After this audience at Zarzuela, the players will travel with the confidence of knowing they have the support of the Royal House, representing the entire country. That's an energy that can make the difference at key moments in the competition.
