VERONICA BOQUETE MAKES SPANISH FEMALE FOOTBALL HISTORY

FIFA has made public the list of 10 female names up for the 2014 Golden Ball.

The full list of 10 female candidates for the FIFA Golden Ball 2014 is:

Nadine Angerer (GER), Veronica Boquete (SP), Nilla Fischer (SWE), Nahomi Kawasumi (JAP), Nadine Kessler (GER), Marta (BRA), Aya Miyama (JAP), Louisa Necib (FRA), Lotta Schelin (SWE) & Abby Wambach (USA).

For Spanish Female Football it is a historical & proud moment as within this list is VERONICA BOQUETE, the Spanish National Female Team Captain & FFC Frankfurt player. It is the first time a Spanish Female Footballer has made the FIFA Golden Ball candidates list. 

Congratulations to Veronica & we wish her luck as the list of 10 names will be reduced to just 3 on the 1st of December.

FIFA also named another Spaniard in the list of candidates for Best Coach for a Female team for 2014. Jorge Vilda was named & is the Coach of the sub-17 & sub-19 National squads. 

The male candidates for the 2014 Golden Ball are expected to be announced by FIFA next week. No doubt names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar etc will be included.  Stay tuned!
