The Heartwarming Reason Marc Cucurella Keeps His Curly Hair Loose

Most fans know Marc Cucurella for his signature curls. But the Spain defender’s hairstyle means much more to him and his family. Cucurella revealed that his eldest son, Mateo, who has autism, uses those loose curls to spot him on television or the pitch. This simple gesture brings comfort to Mateo and keeps him connected to his father during every match. He and his partner spoke openly about their journey to secure the right diagnosis, therapy, and support for their son. By sharing their story, they hope other families can recognise early signs of autism and find the help they need. Off the field, Cucurella always puts family first. Before any transfer or career move, he considers whether a new city offers suitable schools and therapy services for Mateo.
