From seasoned leaders to young footballers experiencing their first major tournament, the Women’s EURO promises to be exciting. Let’s find out who has the chance to become the star of the tournament.
Giulia Gwinn: Pillar of German Defense
There’s no denying that Germany has always been a powerhouse in women’s football, and Giulia Gwinn fits perfectly into this tradition. Born on July 2, 1999, in Tettnang, Gwinn is a key figure in the German team aiming for gold in the tournament in Switzerland.
Versatility and Success at Bayern
Giulia, a Bayern Munich player in her daily life, inspires admiration with her versatility. She successfully performs as both a defender and a midfielder. In the 2024/25 season for Bayern, she played 28 highly successful matches, finding the net and adding three assists, contributing to the team’s further successes.
Captain of the National Team
Since February 2025, Giulia has taken over the captain’s armband from the iconic Alexandra Popp. Her maturity, charisma, and experience gained on European and Olympic stages make her a leader capable of leading Germany to triumph.
Wieke Kaptein: The Hope of Dutch Football
Dutch women’s football is all about style, finesse, and beauty, and Wieke Kaptein embodies these qualities perfectly. Born in August 2005, Kaptein has stirred great expectations among fans since her debut for the national team.
From Twente to Chelsea
Wieke began her career at FC Twente, immediately winning the Eredivisie championship. After a period in the Netherlands, she moved to Chelsea London in 2024, where she quickly made her mark in the English Super League.
Great Hopes for the EURO
She joined the senior Dutch national team at a record young age during the 2023 World Cup. She now has 21 appearances in the “Orange” jersey, and her role in the EURO 2025 is likely to be crucial. Her football intelligence and composure in challenging moments are excellent assets for the championship.
Alexia Putellas: Spanish Genius Returns
When we say “Women’s EURO,” we think of Alexia Putellas. The legendary Barcelona midfielder, a two-time Ballon d’Or winner, is one of the greatest female talents in football history.
Triumph Despite Adversity
Though she struggled with knee ligament injuries during the 2023 World Cup, her fighting spirit and inspiration were key supports for Spain, which claimed the world championship. Now, fully physically recovered, Alexia is ready to lead the team to their first European championship.
Masterful Technique and Tactics
Her style of play – refined technique, perfect dribbling, and fantastic game vision – epitomizes Spanish football. If she stays injury-free, she could once again amaze the world.
Aggie Beever-Jones: A New Era of English Football
A few months ago, few knew Aggie. Today, she is one of England’s hopes and a player facing big challenges but also great prospects.
From Disappointment to Success
She began her journey with Chelsea after being rejected at the age of eight, only to later become a key figure of the club as a forward under Emma Hayes’ guidance. Noteworthy is her beautiful hat-trick story against Portugal in the Nations League – scoring goals in just 33 minutes!
International Debut and EURO 2025
She made her debut in the summer of 2024 against Ireland and has already managed to score 4 goals in 7 appearances. Aggie plays boldly, dynamically, and unconventionally. It’s no wonder fans are eagerly awaiting her performances in Switzerland.
Sveindís Jónsdóttir: Icelandic Attack Dynamite
Iceland is increasingly making a mark in women’s football, with forward Sveindís Jónsdóttir as the face of their progress. Her dynamism, agility, and effectiveness pose a threat to the best defenses in Europe.
From Wolfsburg to Angel City
She developed her club career at Wolfsburg, becoming known for, among other things, four goals in a crucial Women’s Champions League group match against AS Roma, deciding the quarter-finals advancement. In June 2025, she moved to Angel City FC in the American NWSL.
Key for Iceland
Jónsdóttir has already played 34 matches for the national team, scoring 10 goals, and was a top scorer for the team in the EURO 2025 qualifiers. If anyone can lead Iceland through tough times, it’s Sveindís.
