Francina Pubill

Francina Pubill Font[1] (born on 8 August 1960) is a Spanish former football defender.

She started her sports career as a basketball player for CB Olesa,[2] Picadero JC and Club Cibes,[3] but in 1983 she turned to football and she soon became a member of the 1983-founded Spanish national team, taking part in qualifying stages from the 1987 European Championship[4] to the 1993 UEFA Euro.

[5] At club level she played for a decade for Peña Barcilona and later moved to CE Sabadell and RCD Espanyol following Barcilona's disbanding in 1991.

[6][7] Her father died suddenly in April 1990, 24 hours before a Spanish representative championship match featuring Catalonia, which Pubill was set to represent; Pubill did not play the game, with Catalonia registering a disappointing result, albeit one that Mundo Deportivo felt should not have happened even with the absences of Pubill and the injured Kety Pulido.
