Aitana Bonmati Wins FIFA Best Women's Player Award for Third Consecutive Year
Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmati has been awarded the FIFA Best Women's Player title for the third consecutive year.
The 27-year-old played a pivotal role in the Spain national team, which finished as runners-up to England in the Euro 2025 tournament, where she was also named Player of the Tournament.
In addition to her international success, Bonmati was a runner-up in the UEFA Champions League with Barcelona, who lost to Arsenal in the final.
Upon receiving her FIFA award, she expressed her gratitude, stating, "I am honored to receive this award. If it weren't for my teammates, coaches, and fans, I wouldn't be here – but I will enjoy this moment."
In September, Bonmati was also awarded the women's Ballon d'Or, making history as the first player to win the accolade three times, having previously claimed it in 2023 and 2024.
She received the FIFA Best award in 2024 after leading Barcelona to a historic quadruple and in 2023 following her World Cup triumph with Spain.
This year, Bonmati faced competition from Arsenal and Spain midfielder Mariona Caldentey, as well as Barcelona forward Alexia Putellas, both of whom were also nominated for the FIFA Best honor.
