Leonor and Sofia wear number 10 to welcome the La Roja players: why this number?

The official celebration of the players of the Spanish Men’s Football Team started this Monday afternoon with The visit of Luis de la Fuente’s men to Zarzuela to be received by Felipe VI, Doña Letizia and their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía. This Sunday, Sofia enjoyed the match against England live and in person when she accompanied her father to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

The heiress to the throne and her sister were all smiles as they welcomed the players. Sofia is also a big football fan, so events like this are unforgettable for her. They also posed with a big smile next to the trophy, the fourth that the Spanish team has won, making them the team with the most Euro Cups.

To welcome the players to the palace, Leonor and Sofia have worn a shirt of the Spanish team with the number 10 on their backsThey had their own names engraved (Leonor and Sofia), and not that of the player who wears this number on the team (Dani Olmo).

The reason why both of them have this number on their backs has not been officially revealed, although theories have already surfaced: since TardeAR They have explained that it may be due to the tenth anniversary of their father as king. A nod that could have come from them or from the national team itself, which could have given the daughters of the kings these shirts as a symbol of gratitude and celebration.

Álvaro Morata, on behalf of all the players, also surprised the kings with another shirt, which they proudly posed in front of the palace gates: this one bears the number 4 in honour of the four trophies won. And it has the words engraved on it: kings of Europe.

Letizia’s look

Queen Letizia, for her part, has opted for the official colour of the national team to welcome the 26 players of the national team, among whom Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal stand out. Thus, the Asturian consort has opted for a red dress with a flared skirt, a zip at the front and beige low-heeled sandals.
