Sonia Bermúdez

Playing career She played for Estudiantes Huelva before joining CE Sabadell in 2003.

In seven years with Rayo Vallecano, she contributed to the club's first Spanish league trophy—scoring 22 goals throughout the 2008–09 season, ranking third at the top scorers table.

She won the 2011–12 Primera División top scorer award with 38 goals for champions Barcelona. In 2012–13 Barcelona retained their title and Sonia scored 21 times to finish joint-top scorer with Rayo's Natalia Pablos. In 2014, she had a quick break at her Barcelona career when she joined the Western New York Flash from NWSL, returning to Barcelona for the 2014–15 season.

In 2015, after four seasons at Barcelona – which included a stint in 2014 with the Western New York Flash from NWSL – she opted to join Atlético Madrid ahead of the 2015–16 season.

International career In October 2002, Bermúdez was named to the Spanish squad for the 2003 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship.

A member of the senior Spanish national team, she scored against England and Northern Ireland at the UEFA Women's Euro 2009 qualifying. In Spain's first game of the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 qualifying campaign, Bermúdez was named to the squad and listed as an FC Barcelona player.

In June 2013, national team coach Ignacio Quereda named Bermúdez in his squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 finals in Sweden.

She was part of Spain's squad at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.

Spain Women's U23 In September 2024, Bermúdez was appointed head coach of the Spain U-23 side, overseeing nine matches and securing five victories.

Because of her strong record at youth international level — especially the consecutive U-19 European titles — Bermúdez’s performance is widely seen as having enhanced her credentials, eventually leading to her appointment as manager of the senior Spain women’s national team in 2025.

Spain Women In August 2025, the Royal Spanish Football Federation announced that Bermúdez had signed a two-year contract and would take over from Montse Tomé as manager of the Spain women's national football team, starting in October 2025.
