Marta Torrejon is one of the few footballers who has been able to conceal her personal life from the media and as a result, there’s no information regarding her marital status, making it difficult to tell if she is married or not.

Torrejon debuted in the Superliga Femenina for Espanyol at just 14 years old and in 2011, she started in the final of the Copa de la Reina de Fútbol, where they lost in extra time versus her future club, Barcelona.
Two years later, at age 23, she signed for FC Barcelona and is currently the club’s third captain and she has won three league titles and three Copas de la Reina with The Catalonians.
Torrejón made her senior Spain national team debut in November 2007, in a 1–0 defeat to England in Shrewsbury.

In June 2013, she was selected by the national team coach Ignacio Quereda for UEFA Women’s Euro 2013 in Sweden. She played every minute of Spain’s campaign, which ended with a 3–1 defeat to Norway in the quarter-finals.
She was also part of Spain’s squad for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada, playing every minute of the team’s campaign. After Spain’s poor performance of two losses and a draw in the group stages, she and her 22 teammates from the tournament called for coach Ignacio Quereda’s resignation from the national team.
She played two games at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France and the match against Germany would ended up being her final appearance for Spain.
After the 2019 Women’s World Cup, she announced her retirement from the national team on Twitter. She retired with the most ever caps for a Spanish women’s national team player with 90.
However, her record was later surpassed by Alexia Putellas on 26 October 2021.
