Aitana Bonmatí Is the Future — and so is the women’s game

The women’s game is changing rapidly, and we’re here to help support incredible talents continue to pave the way.

BARCELONA — On the biggest stages, Aitana Bonmatí plays like the game bends to her rhythm — sharp, precise, impossibly fluid. A Ballon d'Or winner (2x), a World Cup champion, and a midfield architect of this generation, Bonmatí isn’t just defining excellence in women’s football — she’s redefining what it means to lead.

And she’s not alone.

The women’s game is no longer "emerging" — it is arriving, with urgency and vision. But to truly advance it, the institutions around it must evolve, too.

At the World Football Players’ Association (WFPA), we believe the future of football cannot be separated by gender. That’s why we’re committed to leveling the playing field — by supporting the world’s best female talent through storytelling, global competitions, and a financial structure inspired by Grand Slam parity: equal pay, equal prestige, equal opportunity.

Bonmatí’s brilliance is not an exception — it’s a signal. The women’s game is growing because the talent demands it, the fans demand it, and the world is finally listening.

Our job is to make sure the momentum doesn’t stop.
Her story is just the beginning.
We're here to help tell the rest. and all of the phenomenal individually brilliant athletes who lack the stage or support system they deserve.

Stay tuned.
