Young Claudia Rigual Miró is a promising talent in women's football and this weekend she can continue to enhance her sporting career with the Aragonese team in the Spanish Championship
Claudia started playing with UD Fraga, was selected for the regional team, and was spotted and signed by Zaragoza CFF . This season she began playing for the club's regional team and was soon promoted to the national team.
The footballer from Zaidín has been called up to the Aragonese team to play this weekend in the semi-final of the Final Four of the Spanish Under-17 Women's Territorial Team Championship. She has offers from clubs in Lleida for next season, and due to the distance—Zaragoza is farther away and makes it difficult to balance social life, studies, and family—we will likely see her playing in the neighboring Catalan city next season.
The fact that the Aragonese Under-17 women's team will play in the semi-final of the 'Final Four' of the Spanish Women's Territorial Teams Championship against Madrid—which boasts fourteen international players—this coming Friday, May 24th (7:30 pm) in Las Rozas (Madrid) is a significant milestone that reflects the growth and emerging talent of Aragonese women's football in the region. The 'golden girls' have entered the national Top 100, meaning they are among the one hundred best players in Spain, and Claudia Rigual Miró, from the Bajo Cinca region, is among this elite group.
For Claudia, football is everything. She started playing as a little girl in the schoolyard with her classmates and fell in love with the sport. Her dream is to play at the highest level of football, ideally for FC Barcelona, where two of her football idols, Leo Messi and Neymar, have played.
This weekend, the footballer from Zaidín can continue making history with the Aragonese team if they manage to win the national championship . They face the Madrid team and, if they win, they would play against the winner of the match between Galicia and the Basque Country. Today, Friday, May 24 , the semifinal takes place, and the final is on Sunday the 26th .
If she wins the title, the Zaidín footballer will be the fourth figure from our region, in the world of football, to achieve a national championship with the regional team, after the victory of the Aragonese men's team in the UEFA Regions Cup which included three players from UD Fraga.
The matches can be viewed on the RFEF YouTube channel .
