Royal embrace

Spain is celebrating its first-ever football World Cup victory.
The match in Johannesburg between the Spanish and the Dutch teams was watched by H.M. Queen Sofía of Spain, H.R.H. Don Felipe, the Prince of Asturias, and H.R.H Doña Letizia, Princess of Asturias, and H.R.H Crown Prince Willem Alexander, Prince of Orange, H.R.H. Princess Maxima of the Netherlands.
After Spain's victorious World Cup squad had returned to Madrid the players went to meet Spain's Royal Family.

H.M. King Juan Carlos was accompanied by his wife, H.M. Queen Sofía, his eldest daughter, H.R.R. Infanta Elena, and his son, H.R.H. Crown Prince Felipe and his wife, H.H.R. Crown Princess Letizia as well as their children, H.R.R. Infanta Leonor and H.R.H. Infanta Sofía.

"Thank you champions, in the name of all of Spain and all Spaniards," the King said after personally greeting each of the players.


"This is a well deserved victory for an exceptional team which thrilled the hearts of all Spaniards. You brought together all Spaniards, made our dreams a reality and projected the name of Spain around the world."


Palabras de Su Majestad el Rey a la Selección Española de Fútbol, Campeona de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA "Sudáfrica 2010"

Palacio Real de Madrid, 12 de julio de 2010

Este no es un día de discursos. Es un día de enorme emoción e inmenso orgullo.

Emoción por un triunfo bien merecido y por una selección excepcional que ha hecho vibrar el corazón de todos los españoles.

Mi orgullo por ver a España campeón, por aglutinar a todos los españoles, por hacer realidad nuestros mejores sueños, y por proyectar, sobre todo, el nombre de España en todo el mundo.

Estos son los sentimientos que como Rey quiero trasladaros con el mayor de los abrazos, con toda mi gratitud y con toda mi más afectuosa enhorabuena.

Sois un ejemplo de deportividad, de nobleza, de buen juego, de trabajo en equipo. Y ahí tengo que dar la enhorabuena a Vicente del Bosque, aunque sé que no le gusta aparecer por ahí, pero siempre tendrá mi reconocimiento. Un ejemplo de esfuerzo y espíritu de superación para las nuevas generaciones. Y una capacidad, sobre todo, de demostrar la capacidad que tiene España para lograr juntos los éxitos que nos propongamos.

¡Gracias Campeones en nombre de toda España y de todos los españoles!

¡Gracias por vuestro ejemplo y por vuestro espíritu!

¡Viva nuestra selección y viva España!
