Thanks to her efforts, she raised an outstanding amount of 50,000 euros. Although their team didn’t qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup in 2015, Cedella gathered her girls together again and ensured that her project gained momentum.

In a heartwarming interview with CNN Sport, Marley reminisced about her father’s unwavering love for football, revealing that had he not pursued a career in music, he would have donned the jersey of a football player.

“Daddy played every day,” Marley fondly recalled. “He would play anywhere he was: on the road, you’d find a field, you’d find a team.”

Inspired by her father’s devotion to the sport, Marley and her brothers, Ziggy and Steve, indulged in football alongside him, instilling an undying love for the game in her heart.

Cedella began her soccer journey in 2008 when her son Skip brought home a brochure in which female footballers sought help to cover the team’s expenses, as per our sister magazine, ¡Hola!
