Bethan Everett plays in the Barcelona Cup girl’s


football tournament


Barcelona girls cup


Earlier this year in June, I left Wiltshire to get on a plane to Spain to play in the Barcelona cup girls football tournament with my Swindon Town girls centre of excellence team. On the way to our hotel we stopped at Camp Nou (Barcelona football team’s stadium) for a tour... It was fantastic!


Team Bath Player Shaunagh Craig Team Bath Player Rosie Allison


We played 2 days of football matches in the tournament (and heat!), during our free time I made the most of the beach, swimming pool and hotel facilities.


Teams we played were from all over Europe, in our group were teams from Spain, Denmark and Finland. We came 3rd in our age group which we are very proud of. The weekend was a fantastic opportunity and I had a brilliant time with my team mates and coaches. At the end of the weekend we had a presentation where I received the Finnish pennant for player of the match. I have recently successfully trialled again for the girls centre for football excellence with Swindon Town.


Next season I hope to either go again to Barcelona or maybe Sweden to play in the Gothia cup.
