Aitana Bonmatí needs no introduction. Her talent and leadership at FC Barcelona Femenino are indisputable. With every pass, every play, and every goal, she shows why she's considered one of the best footballers in the world today, backed by her two Ballon d'Or awards.

Her influence goes far beyond Barça. The midfielder is a key piece for the Spanish national team, and every international match proves her level and commitment. Fans adore her, and her name is already part of women's soccer history.

New challenge off the field

According to Crónica Global, Aitana Bonmatí will be part of the commentary team for some matches of the 2026 World Cup. The Mexican company Televisa has signed her to cover selected matches for Spain.

Together with other professionals, she'll offer commentary that goes beyond the obvious. Fans will be able to enjoy her passion and judgment, now from television.

Why Aitana?

Some questions arise after this news. One of the main ones is: Why Aitana Bonmatí and not another footballer, like Alexia Putellas or Patri Guijarro? The answer is simple. After the 2025 Women's Euro, her schedule will be more relaxed, which will allow her to take on this new challenge without pressure.

During the World Cup, which will be held from June 11 to July 19, 2026 in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, Aitana will participate in Spain's most important matches. Her experience and tactical vision will be an added value for the commentary.
