Maria Teresa Andreu Grau (21 January 1952), also written as Mª Teresa Andreu, is a Spanish former football goalkeeper and leading women's football executive considered a main pioneer of women's football in Catalonia.
Football career
Andreu joined Barcelona in May 1971, when the 1971–72 season's league began, as a reserve goalkeeper. For her team name she was known as Maria Teresa and Marisa. She made a substitute appearance in the team's 5–0 victory over Gramanet on 21 May 1971. She stopped playing for the team in 1982.
Executive career
FC Barcelona
By 1977, Andreu was the president of the Barcelona women's team, and spoke well of the working relationship with the staff of FC Barcelona. During the 1982–83 season, Andreu suggested that the team be called Club Femenino/Femení (CF) Barcelona, to be closer to the name of the men's team, with this change made official before the 1983 Copa de la Reina de Fútbol.
In 2000, she was elected a board member of FC Barcelona. Within the year she had brought Club Femení Barcelona into the Barcelona Foundation's organisational structure, making the women's team part of the club in administration. Andreu's directorship coincided with the presidency of Joan Gaspart, a bad presidency, with Andreu later reflecting that she often had to step up.
She was on the board of directors until 2003, before the start of Joan Laporta's first club presidency. She was later one of the directors in the campaign running against Laporta as he sought his second presidency; Laporta won the election. In response, Andreu said that in 2021 Laporta was calmer and had the strength to lead FC Barcelona through a more difficult economic situation.
Spanish Football Federation
Upon the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) formally recognising women's football in 1980, Andreu was appointed the president of women's football in both the Catalan Football Federation (FCF) and the RFEF.
In 1988, Andreu appointed Ignacio Quereda to be manager of the Spain women's national football team. After Quereda had been in post for almost a decade with little development, and spurred by poor results in 1997 UEFA Women's Euro qualifying, the players of the Spanish team wrote a letter to Quereda requesting his resignation. Quereda took the letter to Andreu and Ángel Villar, the RFEF president and Quereda's loyal friend. Andreu repeatedly tried to convince Villar to fire Quereda, which he refused to do; Andreu submitted her resignation in 1998 due to this.
Others
In 1990, she became a member of UEFA's Women's Football Committee.
She has also been part of the Catalan Women's Olympic Committee and the Women and Sport Commission of the Sports Federation Union of Catalonia (UFEC).
