With the 2026 World Cup officially underway, attention is shifting beyond the pitch to the women supporting football’s biggest names. Known in popular culture as WAGs (wives and girlfriends), these partners have become a visible part of the modern football ecosystem, shaping style narratives, social media conversations, and off-field spotlight moments throughout major tournaments.
From veteran names to rising influencer figures, here are six WAGs already drawing attention ahead of this year’s global football stage.
Antonela Roccuzzo
Arguably the most recognisable name in the WAG sphere, Antonela Roccuzzo has been a consistent presence alongside football legend Lionel Messi. The couple, who met in childhood and married in 2017, now share three children and remain one of football’s most established families.
Ester Expósito
Spanish actress Ester Expósito has also entered the football spotlight following her reported relationship with Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé in 2026. Known for her breakout role in Elite, she continues to blend entertainment and sports celebrity culture.
Inés García
Influencer Inés García has gained attention as the partner of Spanish footballer Lamine Yamal. The pair made their relationship public during high-profile appearances in Barcelona, including a league celebration and concert outing.
Kate Goodland
Kate Goodland has been married to England captain Harry Kane since 2019. A qualified fitness instructor with a background in sports psychology, she balances family life with a professional career while remaining a steady presence in Kane’s football journey.
Isabel Haugseng Johansen
Isabel Haugseng Johansen, partner of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, has kept a relatively private profile despite growing public interest. The couple, who met in Norway during childhood, welcomed their first child in 2024 and are known for their low-key lifestyle.
Rima Edbouche
Rima Edbouche is a Moroccan-born influencer and fashion designer married to French footballer Ousmane Dembélé. The couple married in 2021 and welcomed a daughter in 2022, with Edbouche continuing to maintain a presence in both fashion and digital culture.
