Spanish football star Aitana Bonmatí has cemented her status as the world’s best by winning The Best FIFA Women’s Player award for the third year in a row. This historic achievement places her among the greatest players in the history of the women’s game.
The 27-year-old midfielder from Barcelona enjoyed another remarkable year. Despite her club, FC Barcelona, and her national team, Spain, falling short in the finals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League and UEFA Women’s EURO, Bonmatí’s personal brilliance was undeniable. She was named the Most Valuable Player in both of those major tournaments, a true reflection of her performance on the big stages.
Her influence was key as Barcelona secured a domestic treble, winning the Liga F, the Copa de la Reina, and the Spanish Super Cup. Her vision, passing, and control in the center of the pitch continue to define matches and inspire her teammates.
Bonmatí’s latest triumph comes during a period of personal challenge. In early December, she underwent successful surgery for a fractured fibula.
As she receives this honor, Aitana Bonmatí is celebrated not just for her trophy collection, but for her consistent excellence, leadership, and the inspirational path in women’s football.
