Three elite Iberdrola Ambassadors, Sandra Sanchez, Queralt Castle and Lucia Martino, journeyed to Sydney to connect with the national women’s soccer team ahead of the World Cup final against England on Sunday. This marks the second visit by Iberdrola’s delegation, following a prior trip to New Zealand the day before the match against Zambia, during which they spoke with Iberdrola ambassadors and national team players Alexia Putellas and Irene Paredes.
On this occasion, the delegation observed the team’s training session. The gathering included karateka, snowboarder, and surfer La Roja, who was accompanied by the chief executive of Iberdrola Australia, the director of Renewable Energy Asia Pacific, Fernando Santamaría, and Elisa Yarte, Iberdrola Spain’s head of Sponsorships and Advertising. The group conveyed their supportive spirit and shared reflections with the players about their experiences in the competition.
Through Iberdrola’s ambassadors, employees around the world are channeling their energy to back the team in this pivotal challenge and to stand beside them on this transcendent journey.
For the first time in its history, the national team has advanced to a World Cup final and is preparing for the decisive match with the aim of bringing home the trophy.
As the official sponsor of the Spanish women’s soccer team, Iberdrola expressed its affection and strong encouragement to the players, highlighting the notable support felt across the country during these days.
In line with this commitment, Iberdrola activates fan zones and outreach from both sides of the field throughout the competition. This Sunday, the company’s entertainment zones will be set up in Valladolid, Madrid, and Cádiz, bringing the World Cup excitement to fans across Spain.
