In July, all eyes will be on Switzerland, where the best teams from the continent will be competing for the Women's European Championship title, and some of the biggest stars in world football will be shining at the highest level.
Betopick has put together a selection of players you can't miss, talents who can make a difference and who promise to make their mark on this European Championship.
All about the Women's European Championship on BetopickThe spotlight of European football will be centred on Switzerland, where 16 teams will take to the field with a single goal: to win the Women's European Championship.
In all, 368 players will be fighting for glory and, with so much talent assembled, there's no doubt: this will be one of the great stages of world football in 2025.
Figures such as Lauren James (England), Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati (Spain), Pernille Harder (Denmark), Frida Maanum (Norway) or Stina Blackstenius (Sweden) need no introduction and are already part of the fans' imagination.
That's why we've decided to go further and highlight other names that could surprise, shine and take centre stage in this edition of the European Championship.
The choice is always subjective, of course, and there are many other talents who could be on this list.
But here are 10 players you should follow closely, some of whom could even be the revelations of the tournament.
Take a look:Pina is one of the great talents of Spanish footballNurPhoto via AFPClaudia Pina (Spain)Claudia Pina is one of Spain's most exciting talents.
She made her first-team debut for Barcelona in 2018, aged just 16 years and five months.
She's a young, extremely versatile forward, capable of playing both in the centre of attack and on the flanks.
She stands out for her refined technique, intelligence on the pitch and remarkable goalscoring instinct.
Her competitive maturity, tactical rigour and effectiveness on the big stage make her a key player for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
In the 2024/25 season, she was one of the key figures in Barca's winning run to the treble, with the only thing missing being the Champions League, a competition in which she still shone by becoming top scorer.
Poland's top scorerGetty Images via AFPEwa Pajor (Poland)Ewa Pajor epitomises the essence of the classic winger: lethal in the tackle, relentless in the box, extremely mobile and with a very high level of space reading.
She made her debut in the Polish top league aged just 15 and quickly established herself as one of the most talented young prospects in European football.
It was in Germany, at the service of historic Wolfsburg, a major reference point in German women's football, that she consolidated her status as an elite goalscorer.
Her move to Barcelona proved to be an instant success, and she made history by becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in an El Clasico against Real Madrid.
In the Polish national team, she leads with charisma and ambition, and was a key player in the historic qualification for the Women's European Championship, where she stood out with four goals and three assists in the qualifying phase.
Wullaert is Belgium's offensive reference pointBelga via AFPTessa Wullaert (Belgium)Tessa is a complete forward, capable of combining physical presence with game intelligence.
She stands out for her dominance in the air, her mobility and her keen eye for goal.
Her ability on the pitch is matched by her natural leadership, visible both in her charisma and in her influence at decisive moments, factors that make her one of the world's leading players in her position.
The numbers speak for themselves: she has 92 goals in 145 internationals, an impressive record that reflects the decisive role she has played in the affirmation and growth of women's football in Belgium over the last few years.
Russian in the spotlight in EnglandNurPhoto via AFPAlessia Russo (England)Since arriving at Arsenal in 2023, Russo has been raising her game, becoming one of the central figures for both the London club and the England national team.
At the age of 26, she has already won major trophies, such as the 2022 European Championship, and was a key player in the Lionesses' run to the 2023 World Cup final, consolidating her status as the team's offensive reference point.
Russo combines several essential ingredients for top-level football: creativity, intelligence and a goalscoring instinct.
At Arsenal, she has been instrumental, winning the WSL Golden Boot and playing a decisive role in the historic Champions League triumph.
Her physical and technical development, combined with her growing competitive maturity, make her one of the main figures in the England squad for Euro 2025 and one of the biggest names on the international scene.
Hansen is Norway's figureheadGetty Images via AFPCaroline Graham Hansen (Norway)Born in Oslo, Norway, in 1995, Caroline Graham Hansen was noticed from an early age for her refined technique, vision and remarkable ability to break the deadlock in one-on-one duels.
With a track record of excellence, she made a name for herself at Wolfsburg, before establishing herself as one of Barcelona's star players in 2019.
Today, she is unanimously recognised as one of the best wingers in the world, thanks to her combination of speed, creativity and impressive efficiency, both in terms of assists and finishing.
At Barcelona, she has established herself as a key member of one of the most dominant teams in the history of women's football, making a decisive contribution to winning several titles, including Leagues, Cups and multiple editions of the Champions League.
In 2024, this claim was also recognised individually, as she finished 2nd in the prestigious Ballon d'Or, only behind Spain's Aitana Bonmati.
At the Euros, she'll be ready to show her colours in the Norway national team jersey.
Caruso at the service of the Italian national teamGetty Images via AFPArianna Caruso (Italy)Arianna Caruso is one of the rising stars of Italian football, distinguished by her versatility, regularity, tactical intelligence and ability to adapt in midfield.
On the international scene, the Italian international has established herself as one of the Squadra Azzurra's benchmarks, making dozens of international appearances and contributing decisive goals, a record that reflects her profile as a complete midfielder.
Endowed with a remarkable reading of the game, Caruso is equally effective in both attacking construction and defensive balance, combining precision passing, vision of spaces and arrival in the opposing penalty area.
At just 25, she continues to make clear progress and is seen as one of the key players in the Italian national team's competitive future.
Schüller a positive influence in GermanyGetty Images via AFPLea Schuller (Germany)Schuller has been a regular in the German national team since 2017 and has cemented her name among the greats of German football, establishing herself as one of the Mannschaft's leading figures.
She was part of the Germany team that reached the final of Euro 2022 and played a decisive role in winning the bronze medal at the Paris-2024 Olympic Games.
Now, she also carries the responsibility of taking on the difficult task of replacing Alexandra Popp as the team's main attacking reference, a demanding task that is only within the reach of players with her talent and competitive maturity.
Her reading of the game, her ability to exploit the spaces at the back of the opposing defence and her instinct inside the box make her a complete and fearsome player, who combines efficiency with a hard-working profile and collective commitment.
Miedema is the Netherlands' top scorerNurPhoto via AFPAndreia Jacinto (Portugal)Andreia Jacinto is one of the most promising players in Portuguese football today.
Having come through the ranks at Sporting, where she made her debut as a teenager in LaLiga, she quickly stood out for her maturity, tactical intelligence and quality in passing, characteristics that led her to sign for Real Sociedad in 2022.
In Spain, she established herself as a key player in the Basque team's midfield, contributing to both the build-up play and the defensive balance, with her assists and consistency in transitions standing out.
Andreia made her debut for Portugal in 2020 and has been a regular ever since, making over 50 international appearances.
She was one of the protagonists of Portugal's historic qualification for the World Cup 2023 and is seen as one of the key players for the future of the Quinas team.
Miedema for the NetherlandsGetty Images via AFPVivianne Miedema (Netherlands)After seven outstanding seasons with Arsenal, Vivianne Miedema moved to Manchester City in July 2024, where she signed a three-year contract.
At international level, she is already the Netherlands national team's all-time top scorer, with almost 100 goals.
Her CV includes winning Euro 2017 and playing a decisive role in the team's progression to the 2019 World Cup final.
At Manchester City, despite some physical setbacks, Miedema continues to show her technical quality, tactical intelligence, versatility and lethal finishing instincts.
Outside the pitch, she has also taken on a prominent role, being one of the most active voices in defence of inclusion and combating harassment in women's football.
Her influence extends far beyond the pitch, making her not only a sporting reference, but also a staunch defender of the values we want in modern football.
Mateo in the spotlight in FranceDPPI via AFPClara Mateo (France)Clara Mateo is a versatile forward, usually utilised as a right-winger or as a number 10, but it was as a false 9 that she enjoyed the best season of her career in 2024/25, aged 27, finishing as the league's top scorer with 18 goals and 7 assists.
She was also voted the best player in the French league.
The player who wears the number 10 jersey for Paris FC, who are third in the French league behind Lyon and PSG, has also stood out for the French national team.
In her last four games for Les Bleues, she has been decisive in three, scoring against Switzerland and Norway and assisting against Belgium.
Her performances have even led coach Laurent Bonadei to see her more as a starter than as a secret weapon off the bench.
At the European Championship, she could even take the place of Marie-Antoinette Katoto in the centre of France's attack.
