It’s been three years since England were crowned UEFA Women’s Euros 2022 champions, with the Lionesses doing us proud and taking home the trophy. Suffice to say, we’re excited to see what our squad can achieve this year – could they bring it home two years in a row?
In the lead up to Lioness manager Sarina Wiegman announcing the official squad for this year’s competition, fans were rocked at the news that legendary goalkeepers Mary Earps was retiring from international duty with immediate effect. Midfielder Fran Kirby – who also happens to be an out and proud lesbian – followed suit a week later and defender Millie Bright withdrew due to personal reasons.
So now, this year’s Lionesses are as follows…
Our 2025 goalkeepers are Hannah Hampton, Khiara Keating and Anna Moorhouse. Our defenders are: Lucy Bronze, Lotte Wubben-Moy, Jess Carter, Niamh Charles, Maya Le Tissier, Esme Morgan, Alex Greenwood and Leah Williamson. Here’s the chosen midfielders: Grace Clinton, Jess Park, Ella Toone, Georgia Stanway and Keira Walsh. And last, but not least, our forwards: Lauren Hemp, Beth Mead, Lauren James, Chloe Kelly, Aggie Beever-Jones, Michelle Agyemang, Alessia Russo.
It’s great to see that we’ll still have LGBTQIA+ visibility on the pitch this year.
Whether you were unable to get tickets for the games or you prefer watching the game away from crowded arenas or pubs, here’s how you can cheer on the squad (or another team of your choice) from the safety of your living room…
