SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO (Special Envoy) —What more can be added about Zoe Díaz de Armas? The young Italiano player is undoubtedly the great appearance of Las Leonas in recent times. His father Jorgealong with his entire family, are faithful followers of the forward. In Argentina’s debut in the 2024/2025 Pro League Jorge was the first to arrive at the Santiago del Estero stadium. “I’m a big fan of Zoe. For me it is the most beautiful thing there is”he told AM850 Hockey.

“We took her to the club since she was seven years old. The idea was always that it was for fun, as a hobby. I have three other children and we encourage them all to play sports. And with Zoe it came out like that. She insisted, she grew, she liked it more and more and look where she is now. It’s crazy”Jorge said. The young player had a dream year: she became the youngest medalist in Argentine history with bronze in Paris and the icing on the cake was having been chosen the best Junior player in the world by the FIH.

“We and his mother are simply like sparring partners or companions. Every award, everything she is winning is her merit. Nothing but her.”he explained. The Díaz de Armas are very passionate about sports. “We are a large family. My brothers wanted to be professionals in other sports and they couldn’t. Having our last name appear on the Argentine shirt is beautiful. Sometimes I don’t fall where it is. I feel blessed”he added.

To close he left a message directly to Zoe: “I always tell him the same thing. Have fun. Because the rest comes alone. Every goal, everything I want to win will come only with that.”. “Nowadays, if you ask me on the street, ‘Is there Zoe going?’ and for me it is a terrible pride”hill.
