Olga Carmona, who plays her club football for Real Madrid, scored the winning goals in the semi-final and final.
Carmona took part in the post-match celebrations with her teammates on the Stadium Australia pitch; dancing, getting her medal and kissing the trophy.
According to the Spanish FA, Carmona's father, who had a long illness, died on Friday - before the final got under way. However, Spanish media outlet Relevo reported that family and friends decided not to tell her the news so that she could focus on the match. Carmona's mother and brothers had rushed back to Spain - having been in New Zealand for the group stages - but arrived in Australia on Saturday to support her in the final."We felt this team had something special," Carmona said after the game.
Before news of her father's death, the Spanish FA had said title celebrations would take place in Madrid when the squad return home on Monday.
