Alba Pomares López (born 29 August 1995) is a Spanish football forward currently playing for Fundación Albacete.
Club career[edit]
Pomares missed just under a year of football after injuring her anterior cruciate ligament in a match against Fundación Albacete while playing for Espanyol.[1][2] After playing seven seasons at Espanyol, she left the Catalan club and signed with Fundación Albacete in 2017.[3] In her first season at Albacete, she, again, injured her anterior cruciate ligament, this time against Levante, and faced another lengthy absence.[4]
International career[edit]
Pomares scored the only goal in extra time of the final of the 2011 U-17 European Championship against France to give the Spanish U-17 national team its second European Championship title in a row.[5][6] Following the match, her teammates all signed the ball, which she kept as a souvenir. She also received a congratulatory phone call from Spain international Verónica Boquete.[7]
