Sonia Bermúdez Tribano (born 15 November 1984), commonly known as Sonia[3] or Soni,[4] is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a forward. She was a member of the Spain women's national team.

With previous passages for Rayo Vallecano, FC Barcelona, NWSL club Western New York Flash and Atlético Madrid,[5] she won the women's Primera División seven consecutive times (three with Rayo Vallecano and four with Barcelona) from 2008–09 until 2014–15.

Club career

She played for Estudiantes Huelva before joining CE Sabadell in 2003.[6]

In seven years with Rayo Vallecano, she contributed to the club's first Spanish league trophy—scoring 22 goals throughout the 2008–09 season, ranking third at the top scorers table.[7]

She won the 2011–12 Primera División top scorer award with 38 goals for champions Barcelona.[8] In 2012–13 Barcelona retained their title and Sonia scored 21 times to finish joint-top scorer with Rayo's Natalia Pablos.[9] In 2014, she had a quick break at her Barcelona career when she joined the Western New York Flash from NWSL, returning to Barcelona for the 2014–15 season.

In 2015, after four seasons at Barcelona – which included a passage in 2014 with the Western New York Flash from NWSL – she opted to join Atlético Madrid ahead of the 2015–16 season.[10]

International career

In October 2002, Sonia was named in the Spanish squad for the 2003 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship.[11]

A member of the senior Spanish national team,[12] she scored against England and Northern Ireland at the UEFA Women's Euro 2009 qualifying. In Spain's first game of the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 qualifying campaign, Sonia was named to the squad and listed as an FC Barcelona player.[12] She scored the fourth goal in Spain's 10–1 win in Turkey.[13]

In June 2013, national team coach Ignacio Quereda named Sonia in his squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 finals in Sweden.[14]
