Spanish football has once again secured a strong presence in the FIFPRO Women’s World 11, which recognises the best team of the season. This year’s line-up features five Spanish internationals: María León, Irene Paredes, Alexia Putellas, the recently crowned Ballon d’Or winner, Aitana Bonmatí and Claudia Pina.

A total of 6,511 players took part in the vote for the only global football award decided exclusively by professional players, based on individual performances during the period from 4 August 2025 to 16 August 2026, inclusive.

Each voter selected three outstanding players in each of the four positions: goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and forward.

After winning numerous titles with FC Barcelona, the Spanish internationals also made their mark with the national team, which lifted the UEFA Women’s Nations League trophy at the Metropolitano Stadium and secured qualification for the World Cup in Brazil, their next major objective.

This award further underlines the Spanish national team’s outstanding form and the prominence of its players among the world’s footballing elite.

Aitana Bonmatí was the most-voted player, receiving 47.4% of the total votes.
