Barcelona midfielder, Aitana Bonmati, has been named the women’s player of the year at the FIFA Best Awards for the third year in a row.
Bonmati, 27, was a key part of the Spain team that finished runners-up to England at Euro 2025, where she won the player of the tournament prize.
The Spaniard won a domestic treble with Barcelona – scoring 12 and assisting six goals in La Liga F – but was a runner-up in the Champions League with her club, who lost to Arsenal in the final.
Bonmati was named the competition’s player of the season by UEFA, registering nine goal contributions in her 11 appearances and scoring in their 4-1 semi-final second-leg win at Chelsea.
She said of her FIFA award: “I am grateful to have the honour. If it wasn’t for all the players, coaches and the fans, I would not win it – but I will enjoy.”
Bonmati was also awarded the women’s Ballon d’Or in September, becoming the first player to win it three times, having received it in 2023 and 2024.
She earned the FIFA Best award in 2023 following a World Cup victory with Spain, and again in 2024 after winning a historic quadruple with Barcelona.
Arsenal and Spain midfielder Mariona Caldentey and Barcelona forward Alexia Putellas were also nominated for this year’s FIFA Best award.
