Spain’s Women’s World Cup champions touched down at Ibiza Airport this afternoon, marking a celebratory moment after a historic win. La Roja clinched the trophy as Olga Carmona struck a decisive goal in the 29th minute, rewriting the history books and bringing pride to fans across the country. The team arrived on a charter flight, greeted by a mix of excitement and relief, with a limited crowd awaiting their arrival due to the early timetable and private nature of the arrival.
A modest gathering of supporters gathered near the airport terminal, the area typically used for arrivals and the bus departures. The crowd chanted for the team, waving flags and banners as the players stepped off the plane and into the open air. The mood was electric, yet controlled, with fans shouting praise and some staff members offering words of congratulations. The atmosphere reflected a shared sense of achievement and the joy of seeing the squad return home after a hard-fought tournament campaign.
Plans for the afternoon included a public parade through Vila, celebrating the World Cup victory with the players riding an open bus. The route was mapped to take the squad from the airport area toward Avenida de Sant Josep, then along E10 and Avenida de España, allowing locals and visitors alike to witness the celebration up close. At the heart of the route, the Ibiza Town Council President, Vicent Marí, was scheduled to welcome the players in the corporate garden a little after five in the evening, creating a moment of local recognition and community pride. The parade would then continue toward the Cala Llonga coastline area as the schedule advanced into the late afternoon and early evening darkness.
Security and traffic control were tightened for the event as Civil Guards units, including the Rapid Action Group, coordinated with local authorities to manage road closures and ensure a smooth flow of vehicles. Additional patrols helped guide spectators and vehicles along the parade route, minimizing disruptions while allowing fans and residents to share in the celebrations. Officials emphasized safety and orderly conduct so everyone could enjoy the moment and show support for the team as they toured the island in triumph.
