The Spanish women's team will face Sweden on February 28th and March 1st in the sixth edition of their annual match, which will take place at the venue for the Spanish Women's International Championship, Copa SM La Reina, just three days later. This time, the match will be held at Platja de Pals (Girona).

There, Spain will be looking for its fifth victory against one of the powerhouses of women's amateur golf. Anna Arrese from Barcelona, who just a few weeks ago brought the title of champion of the International de Portugal back to Spain, leads the team captained by Mabel Pascual del Pobil and Inés Tusquets.

Completing the local field are Camilla Hedberg, also from Barcelona, Noemí Jiménez and Rocío Sánchez from Malaga, Ana Fernández de Mesa from Cadiz, Luna Sobrón from the Balearic Islands, Mandy Goyos from A Coruña and Ainhoa Olarra from San Sebastián, who is considered the best news in women's amateur golf at the beginning of 2010 due to her recent performances (victories in the First Qualifying Event of the National Ranking and in the National Junior Qualifying Events).

The 16 players selected for the match, who will play eight doubles matches on the first day and as many singles matches on the second, are on the list of participants for the Copa de SM La Reina, which will take place from March 3 to 7.

Since Sweden won the first edition of this match back in 2005 (2.5-6.5), Spain has always emerged victorious. In 2006, the score was 7-5 at the Isla Canela course in Huelva, in 2007 the score at Sherry Golf was more decisive (11.5-4.5), while in 2008, at La Reserva de Sotogrande (Cádiz), the competition was decided in the singles matches (6.5-5.5). Last year, at the RCG Las Palmas, Spain won by a narrow 9-7, thus avenging Sweden's victory at the World Championship in Australia in 2008.
