Spain mistakenly honours Icardi's sister!

The Spanish Government mistakenly honoured celebrity Ivana Icardi, sister of Argentinian footballer Mauro Icardi, instead of Women's World Cup-winning captain Ivana Andres, with the country's Royal Order of Sports Merit, Spain's National Sports Council (CSD) confirmed on Wednesday. Spain's National Sports Council confirmed on Wednesday that the Spanish government had mistakenly honoured superstar Ivana Icardi, sister of Argentine soccer player Mauro Icardi, instead of Women's World Cup winning captain Ivana Andres by awarding her the Royal Order of Sporting Merit. A correction was made on Wednesday's edition, honouring the correct Ivana, who lifted Spain's first Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand last month. Ivana Icardi, an Argentinian celebrity who resides in Mallorca and has participated in several Spanish reality television shows, reacted in confusion on social media. "This really happened! How could they possibly get something like this wrong?," Icardi wrote while sharing a copy of BOE's page with her name on it. Real Madrid defender Andres reacted to the news posting on X the viral meme of Spider-Man pointing at another Spider-Man. However, Ivana was not the only mistake made by those in charge of the list of honorees. Midfielder Aitana Bonmati, World Cup player of the tournament and UEFA Player of the Year, also had her name misspelt in Tuesday's edition of BOE. The blunder comes among the headlines generated by Spanish soccer chief Luis Rubiales' after he kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips following Spain's 1-0 victory over England in the final.
