Tribute to Athenea at the Casa de Cantabria in Madrid
The Madrid forward and World Cup winner with Spain was honoured for her sporting successes.
Athenea del Castillo was one of the stars of the reception that took place at the Casa de Cantabria in Madrid. The forward was honoured after a sparkling 2023, in which she won the World Cup with Spain and performed brilliantly for Real Madrid. Athenea received an insignia and a commemorative plaque from the president of Cantabria, María José Sáenz de Buruaga.
The madridista, who was born in the Cantabrian town of Solares, expressed her appreciation during the event: "It is an honour to receive this recognition from my hometown. I am very proud of the support I always receive from all the people of Cantabria, and it makes me really happy. Thank you very much, beloved people of Cantabria, for the affection that you give me and all that I receive when I am there." The event was also attended by Emilio Butragueño, Director of Institutional Relations.
