Sonia Prim Fernández (born 5 November 1984) is a retired Spanish football defender who was the captain of Primera División club Levante. She previously played for Pozuelo and Atlético Madrid.

Career

Prior to her football career, Prim played futsal.[1] At the age of 15, following two league titles at youth level for Lourdes, Prim signed for Pozuelo. She would spend five seasons at the club.[2] In 2004, she signed for Levante. She won the league title with Levante in 2008.[3] In 2010, Prim was required to spend a year in Ávila due to work commitments. As a result, she left Levante for Atlético Madrid.[4] In April 2019, after 13 seasons at Levante over two spells, Prim announced her retirement. A tribute was held for her in the final game of the season against Atlético Madrid.[3] Both clubs presented her with a football shirt at the end of the match, in honour of her time spent at both clubs.[5]
