Aitana Bonmatí, a pivotal player for Barça Femení and three-time Ballon d'Or recipient, is expanding her professional role beyond the pitch. During her 2026 summer break, she took on a commentator role at the men's World Cup hosted in the United States and Mexico.
Her debut as a broadcaster was on the program 'Los Maestros' on Mexico's TUDN channel, where she provided commentary for several group stage matches. Following this, DAZN officially signed Bonmatí to join their commentary team. On July 14, she will cover the Spain versus France match, followed by the Argentina versus England match on July 16. She will also be part of the commentary crew for the final at MetLife Stadium in New York on July 20.
The DAZN team includes well-known football experts: Miguel Ángel Román will lead the narration, while former Spanish internationals Pepe Reina and Javi Martínez will serve as commentators. Sideline reporting will be handled by Pablo Pinto. This experienced lineup promises in-depth and expert analysis for the tournament's matches.
This development highlights Bonmatí's multifaceted contribution to football, bridging her active playing career with media involvement. While continuing to perform at an elite level for Barcelona, she is building a media profile that could shape her post-playing endeavors.
