Thomas Carmona, the father of Olga Carmona, who suffered from cancer for a year, celebrated every victory of his soccer player daughter, but he could not see her win the World Cup

The Spanish women’s football team made history by winning the World Cup in Sydney, Australia with a score of 1-0 against England. The goal that ensured the victory was scored by the talented soccer player Olga Carmona. But the joy of this triumph was clouded by sad news: her father died before the match, and she found out about it afterwards.

Tomás Carmona, Olga’s father, was always present in his daughter’s career and supported her unconditionally. Unfortunately, he has been battling cancer for the past year, and his health has deteriorated significantly. Due to her delicate condition, she could not accompany her daughter to this important tournament, reports El Español.

The same newspaper reports that the player’s mother Olga García and her twin brother Tomás received the tragic news of the death of the football player’s father while they were traveling to Australia. They decided to save the news for later, so as not to affect Olga’s performance during the final match.

Tomás Carmona used to share photos of his daughter’s sports performances on his Twitter profile. In fact, the last picture that appears in her feed is from the very extraordinary play she is starring in.

Although the player’s two brothers, Fran and Tomás, have the same profession, her father’s posts always highlighted Olga’s achievements and talent.

Jesús Carmona, Olga’s cousin, mentioned to the aforementioned Spanish media that the athlete’s father was full of pride for his daughter.

“He was proud of all his children, and even more of the little girl because she even made it to Real Madrid. We are very Madridistas in this family,” he said.

Despite the 20-year separation from Olga’s mother, the distance was not an obstacle to building a relationship with her daughter, and he traveled to their matches several times.

The football player’s relative added that Tomás was able to watch all the games until his health deteriorated significantly on Friday, August 18.
