Alba María Redondo Ferrer (born 27 August 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga F club Real Madrid and the Spain national team.

In January 2024, she ranked 61st on the Guardian's 2023 list of the 100 Best Female Footballers in the World.[2]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Redondo progressed through the youth system at her hometown club Fundación Albacete. In 2014, 17-year-old Redondo scored twice as "El Funda" beat UD Granadilla Tenerife 2–0 to secure promotion to the top-level Primera División. The 2018–19 Primera División season ended in disappointment for Redondo when her 15 league goals failed to stop Fundación Albacete from finishing bottom of the league and being relegated.

In June 2019 Redondo transferred to Levante, signing a two-year contract with a further one-year option.[3] In November 2019 she scored twice against EdF Logroño but was knocked unconscious near the end of the match. Amidst farcical scenes, the physiotherapist who ran on to treat her was then sent off by the dogmatic referee, for not asking permission to enter the pitch.[4] The following month Redondo endeared herself to the Levante supporters when she struck the only goal in a win over local rivals Valencia.[5]

Redondo won the Pichichi award for being the top goalscorer in the 2022-23 Liga F season.[6]

On 2 July 2024, Redondo signed for Real Madrid.[7]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Alba Redondo took part in the qualification for the 2013 U17 European Championship with the Spanish U17 national team. With the U19s she reached the final of the continental tournament in both 2014 and 2015, but lost to the Netherlands and Sweden respectively. In 2015, with three goals in five games, she was level with Marie-Charlotte Léger and was the tournament's second-best goalscorer behind Stina Blackstenius. Alba Redondo took part in the 2016 World Cup with the U20 national team, where she and her team were defeated in the quarterfinals by North Korea, who later won the tournament.[8]

Despite competing for Albacete that was frequently fighting in relegation battle, Redondo developed into a proficient goalscorer and came to the attention of Spain national team scouts.[9] She made her debut for the senior national team on 8 November 2018 in a friendly against Poland, and was also called up for the 2019 Algarve Cup.[10][11] However, national coach Jorge Vilda did not include her in the 23-player final squad for the 2019 World Cup.[12] Redondo was not named to the Spanish squad for the Euro 2022 either.[13]

Redondo made seven appearances at the 2023 World Cup and scored three goals. She was in the starting line-up for the World Cup final as Spain defeated England 1–0 to win the trophy for the first time.[14]

On 10 June 2025, Redondo was called up to the Spain squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025.[15]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Redondo is in a relationship with Cristina Monleón, a sports and exercise scientist at the University of Valencia.[16] She is not related to former Argentine and Real Madrid midfielder Fernando Redondo.
