Spain's Women's Euro 2025 Team: Aitana Bonmati Captains Stellar World Title Holders
Fire up, La Roja! The upcoming UEFA Women's Euro 2025 is upon us, and Spain's ladies are ready to shine in Switzerland! This tournament marks their third attempt at snatching the title since the tournament's expansion to its current 16-team format.
The team's electrifying performance at the 2023 World Cup, accompanied by the Luis Rubiales scandal, seemed to be a bump in the road. Now, they have their sights set on adding a European title to their collection. Missing out on a medal at the Olympics last summer only fueled their determination, and they're considered one of the favorites to take home the trophy.

Spain's Manager: Montse Tóme
Stepping up from assistant manager, Montse Tóme took the helm following Jorge Vilda's exit after the 2023 World Cup. Under her leadership, Spain triumphed in the inaugural Nations League tournament, defeating France 2-0 in the final. Here's hoping she leads our team to success in Euro 2025!
Spain's Star Player: Aitana Bonmati
At just 26 years old, two-time Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmati ranks at number 10 on our website's list of the 100 greatest women's footballers of all time. This spectacular midfielder has the potential to climb even higher before her career concludes.
It's worth noting that Aitana has yet to add a European Championship title to her impressive resume. With her prolific performances for both Spain and her former club, Barcelona, she's without a doubt the player to watch in this year's tournament. Don't blink, or you might miss a spectacular goal or two!
Spain's focus is not only on the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 as they also aim to make a mark in the European leagues, particularly with La Liga. Aitana Bonmati, the talented midfielder ranked at number 10 on the website's list of the 100 greatest women's footballers, hopes to add a European Championship title to her career achievements.
