Real Madrid midfielder Caroline Weir is the only player from the Spanish club nominated for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, reflecting her standout performances in the 2024/25 campaign.
The 30-year-old Scot played a key role in Real Madrid’s push for the Liga F title and their strong run in the Women’s Champions League, cementing her status as a pivotal figure in the squad. Though considered an outsider in a field including stars like Aitana Bonmati, Alexia Putellas, and Marta, Weir’s nomination highlights her impact. She remains with Madrid for the upcoming season, poised to be one of the team’s leading figures.

Weir developed at Hibernian before moving to Arsenal in 2012. After a loan spell at Bristol Academy, she enjoyed productive periods at Liverpool and Manchester City. In 2022, she joined Real Madrid, where she has since amassed over 80 appearances, scoring 43 goals and providing 30 assists.
Upcoming Fixtures
Real Madrid’s next fixtures include friendlies against Union Berlin on August 17 and Bayern Munich on August 21, ahead of their Liga F opener against Dux Logroño on August 31, where Weir is expected to play a central role.
