Maria Vargas Galeote
They will visit us with no less than 9 girl teams to participate in Gothia cup 2010. “We usually participate in a tournament every summer, with all the teams from the school, we have been doing this for the past eight years now and we believe is a great way to finish the season. Taking the girls on a trip so they can be together and share all they’ve been trough, all the work, all the good moments, all the bad moments, all the hope, all the disapointmnets; and all while doing what they love the most: playing football” – says Maria Vargas Galeote, sports director at Atlético de Madrid Féminas.
Maria adds that this trip is not just for the girls, “For us coaches and leaders, is a great way to get to know each other better, we all work really hard the whole season and we find hardly any time to talk about anything else than football”. We see this as perfect experinece of togetherness, friendship, team work, toughness, braveness, fun and of course football..”
The girls training
We ask Maria the resaon why they chose to come to Gothia Cup this year: ” We have many girl teams and it is sometimes difficult to find tournaments in Spain that have that many age categories and participating girl teams. That is why we decided to expand our horizons a bit and travel abroad, where we know there is more girls football and well appreciated. We have heard so many positive things from teams that have been to Gothia Cup, as one of the best and most prestigious youth tournamens where the number of participating girl teams and categories is espectacular” – adds Maria.
“We believe that this can be a great experience and we will truly make sure to enjoy ourselves and develop as players and coaches of girls football”-
We want to welcome all players, coaches, leaders and parents from Atlético de Madrid Feminas to Gothia Cup this summer. We wish you all good luck with the preparations and we look forward to see you in Gothanburg!
