Aitana Bonmatí’s exceptional prowess in the realm of sports continues to garner widespread recognition, positioning her among the foremost female athletes globally. In the 25th edition of the Laureus Awards, the accomplished footballer secured the distinguished title of World Sportswoman of the Year for 2023.
This accolade places her alongside an illustrious cohort of previous winners, including esteemed athletes such as Simone Biles, Serena Williams, Yerena Isinbayeva, and Jennifer Capriati. Her triumph at the Ballon d’Or ceremony, coupled with her recognition as The Best by UEFA, serves as a prelude to her latest achievement—the Laureus award.
Notably, Aitana Bonmatí’s attainment of this honor marks a historic milestone, as she becomes the first Catalan woman to claim this prestigious title. Her remarkable feat eclipsed the formidable competition posed by distinguished sportswomen such as skier Mikaela Shiffrin, tennis prodigy Iga Swiatek, and track and field luminaries Faith Kipyegon, Shericka Jackson, and Sha’Carri Richardson.
