This 102-Year-Old Lady Shows You're Never Too Old To Be A Professional Footballer

Maria Guadalupe, a 102-year-old lady and lifelong Barcelona (Ecuador) supporter, was given a professional contract to thank her for her support.


We personally do not plan on living to be 102 years old, but, should we somehow manage it, we would like to be a professional soccer player when we reach that age. This 102-year-old lady has given us a blueprint for such an achievement, taking part in a training session with Barcelona (the Ecuadorean version).

102-Year-Old Lady Has Better Touch Than Us

That's Maria Guadalupe, who is 102 years old and has been a Barcelona (Ecuador) supporter for like 90 years. We're pretty sure she pre-dates the club. 

Good for her. Most of us aren't making it to 102, and those of us who do will almost certainly not be able to kick a soccer ball.

The crazy thing is Maria Guadalupe isn't even the oldest person to play for Barcelona (Ecuador).
