María Francesca Caldentey Oliver, known as Mariona Caldentey or simply Mariona, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Women's Super League club Arsenal and the Spain national team.
Her dad is a football coach and president of their local team, CE Felanitx.
She also knows how to play the piano because her grandmother taught her when she was a child. But she doesn't like singing and consider herself as terrible singer.
She also played futsal and also was very successful in it. She played in three Spanish championships.
She has written a book, so far only available in Spanish, where she describes her story and her career so far.
Her favourite number is 8, that's why she wears it on her jersey.
There is only one female footballer nominated for the BBC Sports Personality of the year award, the Spanish star of Arsenal.
On Saturday 10 May, the last Women's Super League matches were played and the 2024/25 season came to an end. The announcement of the best players did not have to wait long.
