Olga Carmona is generating a lot of hype in the city of Seville. Since her arrival at Seville airport, Olga has been the talk of the town and one of the main attractions for the fans who come to support our international players.

The Sevillian admits she is "very happy to be in Seville and that this match is being played in the south (of Spain)". Fans of all ages descended on the hotel to greet and cheer on Olga and the other internationa squad members just hours before the UEFA Women's Nations League semi-final against the Netherlands kicks off.

Since the last World Cup, Olga says: "Since winning the World Cup, people recognise me more and support me a lot. I'm delighted and I hope to return all the affection they show me, both to the supporters here and those in the rest of the country.

Playing in Seville and at La Cartuja is something special for a player who grew up in the Andalusian capital. She is also aware that she is fortunate that her mother, grandmother and many friends will be at the stadium to see Olga turn out for the national team.

The stakes are high for Spain when they take on the Dutch this Friday. If they win, our national team will reach the final of the Nations League and secure a place at the Olympic Games for the first time.
