Top 10 Teenage Women Footballers Rising Star To Lookout For In 2025
1 Linda Caicedo (Real Madrid & Colombia) – 20 years old
Okay so technically Linda Caicedo just turned 20 this year, but we need to add her because she made waves as a teenager, and is still one of the most exciting young players in the world. And she played a huge part for Colombia in the 2023 Women’s World Cup and she’s already got a bit to prove for Real Madrid.
Linda Caicedo is one of the standout players for Real Madrid this season, so far with 9 goals and 8 assists in 26 matches in all competitions as of March 18, 2025
What makes her different? She dribbles very well, her pace is scary, and she can score in big games. Linda is just playing as if she’s an old lady and it ‘s hard to believe that she ‘s still so young.
2 Melchie Dumornay (Lyon & Haiti) – 21 years old
Another star worth mentioning is Melchie (also Corventina) is a Haitian dream. She’s already here at one of the biggest women’s clubs in the world (Lyon) and she’s not just warming up the bench.
At the end of 2024 she had scored 10 goals and scored 2 assists in 11 league appearances, the most by her team.
She is strong, fast and can score from outside the box. Melchie made history with Haiti at the World Cup and even better each season and at 21 is a leader with both the club and the country.
3 Giulia Dragoni (Barcelona & Italy) – 18 years old
Giulia Dragoni is already playing for FC Barcelona. That’s saying a lot by itself; she’s a really creative midfielder with great vision and near-perfect control.
She made her debut for Italy’s senior side at 16 and has been improving since then.
In a club like Barca whose fans have lots of stars, it’s not easy to stand out, but Dragoni is doing her job and many people think she’ll be one of the best midfielders in the world in a few years.
4 Casey Phair (South Korea) – 17 years old
Casey made headlines at the 2023 World Cup when she became the youngest player to ever appear in the World Cup, just 16 years old when she represented her country! Born in the US but playing for South Korea, Casey is already considered a highly touted star striker.
Because she ‘s tall and strong and good in front of the goal. South Korea considers her a huge hope for the future and if she can keep on developing like that she might be one of the best strikers in the world.
5 Ava Murphy (Canada) – 17 years old
With all the great footballers who have come out of Canada in the various generations, Ava Murphy looks like the next one down. She’s still early in her career, but already playing beyond her age.
Ava is a calm midfielder who loves to control the game. She makes smart passes, always seems to have time on the ball, and never looks rushed. If she keeps growing, she could be the next big name for Canada after legends like Christine Sinclair.
6 Naomi Baroin (France) – 18 years old
Naomi is a rising star in the French youth system and a lot of people in France are talking about her already as if she’s the next big thing, a very calm person who knows her stuff and doesn’t freak out when there are attackers coming at her.
She’s also very fond of joining the attack, which means she’s quite dangerous going forward. Division 1 (Féminine) clubs and even in Europe are watching her very carefully.
7 Fiona McIntyre (Scotland) – 18 years old
Fiona has got one of Scotland’s brightest talent. Still at the top of Scottish Women’s Premier League though, yet making great use of her time; plays as a winger.
She may not be a top European club yet, but hopefully you’ll hear her name more in the next year or two, she really is a talent.
8 Esther Ajakaye (Nigeria) – 17 years old
From Africa is Esther Ajakaye, who has made waves last summer with the U-17 Women’s World Cup, and now European clubs are keen to keep an eye on her.
Esther is one who is fast, ruthless, and mad in general; she’s a striker who never lets defenders sit back, and that’s exactly what many Nigerian fans hope her career will accomplish, a prospect she’ll certainly agree to, and perhaps even better.
9 Martina González (Mexico) – 18 years old
Martina is already a key figure at her club – Liga MX Femenil, and she’s already in the eyes of European scouts. A talented winger with rapid feet and an eye for goal, she always provides flair and vitality to any team she plays for.
Mexico is building a very good women’s team now and Martina is one of the players who will be heading that kind of thing.
10 Lucía Moral (Spain) – 19 years old
Luca is a further exciting Spanish talent. She’s already playing for Athletic Club and has been called up to Spain’s youth squad regularly (She’s a hardworking attacking midfielder).
In a country like Spain that prizes good football, Luca is right at home. Just wait, don’t be surprised if she makes it into the senior squad next year.
