Spain Women Euro 2025 squad has been confirmed and it is stuffed to the brim of star players.

Back-to-back Ballon d'Or winners Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas, who are first and 14th in FourFourTwo's best current player list, are included, as well as key players like Salma Paralluelo, Claudia Pina and Mariona Caldentey. Spain's depth of stars is so vast that there is no room for Jenni Hermoso.

Spain will be targeting the one trophy they have never won in the Euros. They are the favourites too after winning the World Cup in 2023.

Spain manager: Montse Tomé

True to the Spanish tradition that has served them so well both in the men's and women's game, Montse Tomé was promoted from assistant manager following Jorge Vilda's ignomious exit from the post following the 2023 World Cup.

Tomé has already led Spain to a Nations League victory, delivering a 2-0 win over France in the final of the inaugural edition of the tournament last February.

Spain came away from the Olympics empty-handed, however, never really reaching their best as they went out to eventual winners Brazil in the semi-finals before losing to Germany in the bronze medal game.

Spain's star player

Aitana Bonmati

The two-time Ballon d'Or winner ranks at number 10 in FourFourTwo's list of the 100 greatest women's footballers of all time, and at just 27 years old has a legitimate chance of climbing all the way to the top of the list before her career is done.

The European Championship is the only bit of silverware Bonmati is yet to get her hands on after her star turn for Spain at the 2023 World Cup and consistently brilliant performances for Barcelona, helping them to win three Champions Leagues titles.

Goalscorer, playmaker, superstar: Bonmati is the player to watch not just for Spain, but in the entire tournament.
