🚨 Tragedy at Valencia: Women's B team coach and three children die | OneFootball

The world of sports and Valencian society are plunged into deep mourning following the heartbreaking news of the death of Fernando Martín Carreras, coach of Valencia CF Femenino B, and three of his children in Indonesia. What began as a dream trip to celebrate the Christmas holidays as a family turned into unimaginable tragedy when the boat they were traveling on suffered a fatal accident. The event has left an indelible mark of pain on the "ché" club.

The tragic incident occurred in the waters of Bali on the night of December 26, 2025, when the tourist boat carrying the family suffered a structural failure and quickly sank.

According to testimonies from those close to the family, the violence of the shipwreck was such that several family members were trapped inside the cabins with no chance to escape in time. Indonesian authorities immediately began search and rescue operations, but as the hours passed, the worst outcome was confirmed for the coach and three of his young children.

Amidst the immense tragedy, it has been confirmed that Fernando's wife—daughter of well-known Valencian businessman Enrique Ortuño—and one of their daughters managed to survive after being thrown from the boat at the moment of impact and rescued alive.

Valencia CF issued an official statement expressing its "utter shock" and sending its deepest condolences to the family and friends of Fernando Martín. The impact of his passing has gone beyond the sports world, reaching Valencia's gastronomic sector due to the close ties of his in-laws with the iconic restaurant "El Coso del Mar".
