No sport has contributed more to the rise of the WAG phenomenon than soccer. The English WAGs were the first to rise to prominence back in 2006, and the rest of the soccer world’s smoking hot WAGs have basked in the fame heaped on them ever since.
But like Barcelona and Bayern Munich, some WAGs are just head and shoulders above the rest. So without further ado, we present the 10 hottest soccer WAGs of all-time. And for more all-time lists, check out our countdown of the top 10 hottest New York Yankees WAGs as well as the top 10 hottest jockey WAGs.
Sylvie Meis spent the better part of a decade being one half of the dream Dutch power couple along with Rafael van der Vaart. van der Vaart was the Netherlands’ next big soccer star back then, while Meis – a model and TV personality – was voted the country’s sexiest woman back in 2003.
9. Victoria Beckham (David Beckham)
There has never been a more fashionable football couple than old Golden Balls, David Beckham, and his long-time wife, Victoria. Better known as “Posh Spice” with the 90s girl band The Spice Girls, Victoria blazed the trail for the modern-day soccer WAG and looked damn good doing it.
8. Sara Carbonero (Iker Casillas)
Sara Carbonero is a sultry Spanish television journalist who was named the sexiest reporter in the world back in 2009. That was also the year she first got together with legendary Spain goalie Iker Casillas. Carbonero’s incredibly seductive eyes were probably a big reason why she managed to catch San Iker’s eye in the first place.
7. Abbey Clancy (Peter Crouch)
Peter Crouch is a 6-foot-7 beanpole of a man who looks like Timmy from South Park. So how did he land a vixen like Britain’s Next Top Model Cycle 2 runner-up Abbey Clancy? Just one of life’s many mysteries. (Or maybe, because the 6-foot-7 Crouch is packing some serious meat.)
6. Yolanthe Sneijder-Cabau (Wesley Sneijder)
Yolanthe Sneijder-Cabau – significant other of Wesley Sneijder – has her compatriot Sylvie beat in the sexiness department by some margin. Yolanthe, a Dutch-Spanish actress and television host by profession, was voted as the sexiest Dutch woman not once, not twice, but three times (2006, 2007, and 2009).
5. Gemma Atkinson (Cristiano Ronaldo)
Portuguese playboy Cristiano Ronaldo had a taste of the best Manchester had to offer during his time in England. Bury-born Gemma Atkinson used her substantial assets not only to forge a nice career as an actress and lingerie model, but also to nab a fling with the one-time Manchester United star.
4. Alex Curran (Steven Gerrard)
No one has risen to stardom for being a WAG quite like Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard’s significant other, Alex. The former nail technician, model and fashion columnist has been a fixture in the British tabloids for over a decade now, and has impressively maintained her stunning figure all the while.
3. Shakira (Gerard Pique)
Everyone knows Shakira’s hips don’t lie. Her heart didn’t lie, either, as she fell for Spanish defender Gerard Pique during her work in the 2010 World Cup despite a 10-year age difference. Between her Grammys and his winner’s medals with Spain and FC Barcelona, they must have one crowded trophy cabinet.
2. Cheryl Fernandez-Versini (Ashley Cole)
No matter what last name you know Cheryl by –Tweedy, Cole or Fernandez-Versini nowadays – the former Mrs. Ashley Cole is still the same insanely hot woman she’s always been. She has that angelic face and drop-dead gorgeous dancer’s body made her a two-time awardee of FHM UK’s Sexiest Woman in the World in 2009 and 2010, and cemented her spot as one of the hottest WAGs of all-time.
1. Irina Shayk (Cristiano Ronaldo)
Cristiano Ronaldo may never be able to surpass Lionel Messi as a player in the eyes of history, but at least he can always have one thing over on his Argentine archrival. His ex-WAG, Russian Sports Illustrated model Irina Shayk, is hotter than Messi’s WAG, Pele’s WAGs, Diego Maradona’s WAGs, and all other soccer WAGs. Ever.
