THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT appears to have honoured Mauro Icardi's sister for winning the Women's World Cup in an unbelievably bizarre error.

The Official State Gazette of Spain have awarded the Spanish women's national team the Royal Order of Sports Merit for their success during the World Cup this summer.

But it would seem there has been a HUGE mistake when printing the names of those being honoured by the government as spotted by MARCA.

The first name on the list was printed as Ivana Icardi Rivero, the sister of Galatasaray footballer Mauro Icardi.

But Ivana is not a footballer whatsoever and in fact isn't even Spanish!

She is instead an Argentinian influencer and model who had NOTHING to do with Spain's heroics in Australia and New Zealand.

The mistake appears to be a shocking typo with the first name on the list actually supposed to be Spain captain Ivana Andres.

And it's not the only mistake made by those in charge of the list of honourees either.

Barcelona and Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmati also had her name misspelt on the published list.

Her full name is in fact Aitana Bonmati Conca, but it was written instead with an extra "S" as Aitana Bonmati Concas.

MARCA report that the mistakes have since been noticed and the Higher Sports Council have admitted that there was human error when producing the honours list.

The organisation is said to have now apologised for their mistake and sent letters to those individuals who have been affected.
