Moldovan Soccer Star Violeta Mitul tragically dies in mountain accident at age 26
Moldovan soccer player Violeta Mitul, who was just 26 years old, has sadly passed away in a tragic accident during a mountain hike with her club-mates, according to a statement from UEFA, European soccer’s governing body. Mitul, a talented defender, had established herself as one of Moldova’s leading players, earning 40 caps for her country and playing for various clubs across Europe.
Earlier this year, Mitul had joined Icelandic club Einherji, but she had also previously played for clubs in Spain, Italy, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. Throughout her career, she achieved notable success, winning both the Moldovan and Romanian Cups while representing Alga Tiraspol and Vasas Femina respectively.
Although Moldova did not qualify for this year’s Women’s World Cup, Mitul played a vital role in the team’s qualifying matches, participating in all 10 games. Her dedication, skill, and passion for the sport made her a valued member of the national squad.
Mitul’s untimely demise has sent shockwaves through the soccer community, leaving her teammates, friends, and fans devastated. The news has yet to reach Einherji, her current club, and the Moldovan Football Association, as CNN has reached out to them for further information.
The loss of Violeta Mitul serves as a tragic reminder of how fragile life can be. Her tremendous contributions to Moldovan soccer will always be remembered, and her legacy will continue to inspire future generations. Our thoughts and condolences go out to her family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing her both on and off the field.
