Bermudian-born striker Jasmine Spence was part of the England squad that clinched the bronze medal in the World Minifootball Federation Women’s World Cup in Croatia. After a 2‑2 draw with Slovakia in regulation, England won 2‑0 on penalties to take third place.

Spence, who currently plays for English non‑league side Newport Pagnell Town, joined an England roster of 17 players that included a mix of seasoned internationals and up‑and‑coming talents. Her performance in the tournament, particularly her composure in the shoot‑out, underscored the skill and determination she brings from her Bermudian roots.

The result has drawn attention back home, where Bermuda’s football community is eager to celebrate the achievement. Local clubs are already discussing how Spence’s success could stimulate interest in women’s minifootball and motivate young players to pursue the sport. The Bermuda Football Association has indicated a willingness to explore partnerships that could support training camps and development programmes for girls.

While the tournament was held abroad, BermudaObserver will continue to track the impact of Spence’s bronze medal on the island’s sporting landscape, offering updates on any initiatives that arise from this triumph and highlighting opportunities for Bermudians to follow in her footsteps.
