Angel Di Maria’s decisive goal in the 2021 Copa America final and opening strike in the 2022 World Cup final helped Argentina realize an age-old dream. Di Maria’s wife, Jorgelina Cardoso, reminds the world of his valuable contributions to La Albiceleste’s historic wins. She never shies away from retelling the Argentine icon’s success stories. Jorgelina has dedicated her social media space to savoring the Benfica striker’s on-field achievements.

Now is the time for Jorgelina to channel her inner cheerleader, as Di Maria kick-starts Argentina’s Copa America defense in tomorrow’s opener against Canada. Jorgelina Cardoso had once notably sent ripples across the soccer community with her candid rant about England during Angel Di Maria’s Manchester United days. What did she say? What is her line of work? Let’s dive a bit deeper into Jorgelina’s life and family.

All you need to know about Angel Di Maria’s WAG Jorgelina Cardoso and their children

Jorgelina Cardoso was born in Rosario, Argentina, in 1982. She met with Angel Di Maria in the same neighborhood and soon started dating. Interestingly, the Argentina superstar is five years junior to Jorgelina. After years of courtship, the star couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2011. Similar to Di Maria, his 41-year-old partner shares a deep connection with sports. Various sources suggest that Jorgelina works as a sports agent. Moreover, she actively challenges gender inequality in sports.

That’s not all. Di Maria’s WAG is a woman of many talents. She reportedly owns a clothing store and a restaurant in Buenos Aires. Amid this busy schedule, Jorgelina is also comfortable being the lady boss of the Di Maria household. She and the 2022 World Cup winner have been raising two daughters- Mia Di Maria and Pia Di Maria. Mia was born in 2013. Di Maria and Jorgelina welcomed Pia in 2017.

Jorgelina has accompanied Di Maria to different cities during his illustrious stints with multiple European clubs. However, the reigning World Champion’s chapter in Manchester did not go well with the family.

When Jorgelina got candid about England

After winning a UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid in 2014, Angel Di Maria joined Manchester United. A move to England was the last thing Jorgelina wanted. “I said to him, ‘Go to any country – except England’. “Anyway, one year later and there we were in England and it was horrible, a sh*thole,” said Jorgelina in an interview.

Di Maria’s days in England came to a dismal end, and he left Manchester United within a year to plie his trade for French giants PSG. Anyhow, besides the Argentine’s Manchester stint, his adventures for other clubs and country have brought mirth to Jorgelina.

Jorgelina Cardoso is reliving Argentina’s 2022 World Cup triumph every day. She has kept a photo of her, Di Maria, and the kids kissing La Albiceleste’s third World Cup title, as her profile picture on Instagram. Several other photographs from that historic night have found a space on her feed. Besides, she also posts warm pictures on Di Maria’s birthday every year.

Three years earlier, the 41-year-old wrote a heartfelt message congratulating Angel Di Maria on powering Argentina’s Copa America triumph. Now, as the three-time World Champions are chasing the silverware in America, Jorgelina will long to share similar messages with pride. Will Jorgelina be able to celebrate yet another Argentine dream? Only time will tell.
