England's Women Win the European Championship and Earn Spot in World XI

For the first time since the Fifpro women's team was created, England has claimed top honors by winning the European Championship. The victory marked a historic moment for English football, and as such, several key players have been named to the Fifpro women's World XI.

Among those selected are captain Leah Williamson, goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, defenders Lucy Bronze and Chloe Kelly, forwards Alessia Russo, and centre-back Millie Bright. While Bright was not part of the tournament itself but has since retired, her impact on the team is still significant. She captained Chelsea to a domestic treble last season before hanging up her international boots.

Bright's teammate at club level, Lucy Bronze, has been named to the World XI for a record eighth time. The 34-year-old achieved this feat despite playing with a broken leg during England's win over Spain in the European Championship. This accomplishment cements Bronze as one of the most accomplished defenders in women's football.

The Fifpro women's World XI also features two African players, Barbra Banda from Zambia and Ghizlane Chebbak from Morocco, alongside Spanish stars Ona Batlle, Aitana Bonmatí, and Alexia Putellas. The team was chosen by over 6,000 players globally, who voted for any player who made 20 official appearances for club and country between August 11th, 2024, and August 3rd, 2025.

In contrast to the women's World XI, the Fifpro men's team features two English internationals, Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer. The Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma received more votes than any other player in the voting process.

omg i just remembered my aunt went to wembley stadium last year to watch a match and she said it was super cool! but anyway, have you ever noticed how some football players are just like, naturally talented? like leah williamson is already so experienced at a young age, and lucy bronze has been on the world stage for ages . and i saw an interview with barbra banda from zambia where she talked about how hard it was to get recognized as a player in her country... anyway, back to football

England is on fire right now! Their women's team has done an incredible job winning the European Championship for the first time ever . I'm so proud of their squad, especially Lucy Bronze who's been named to the Fifpro women's World XI for a record eighth time . That's some serious dedication and skill on display. And to think she was playing with a broken leg during that crucial match against Spain ? Talk about inspiring!

England just won the European Championship! I'm so stoked for those girls , especially Lucy Bronze, she's a total legend . 8 times on the World XI is insane!!! I mean, playing with a broken leg during that win over Spain? That's what I call dedication . And can we talk about Leah Williamson, she's such an amazing leader and captain . England finally getting its due recognition in football, it's about time . The Fifpro women's team is looking super strong this year !

OMG, this is so cool!!! England's women team finally won that European Championship and they got all these amazing players on the Fifpro World XI! I remember watching the 2019 Women's World Cup with my friends and we were all like "when will England win?" And now, it's like our dream came true!

I'm so hyped for Lucy Bronze, she's been killing the game since forever ‍. Playing with a broken leg during that match against Spain? That's dedication, bruv! And Leah Williamson as captain, she's always been so inspiring to watch.

But what I love most is how this achievement is going to inspire more women and girls to take up football. It's like, the world is finally recognizing their talent and hard work . Can't wait to see what they do next! ️

England's win at the European Championship is super impressive! I mean, to see a country come together like that and achieve such great things is really inspiring . And it's not just about the winning - the fact that so many players made the Fifpro women's World XI is a testament to how far English women's football has come . I think Leah Williamson and Lucy Bronze are especially deserving of recognition, their leadership and skill on the pitch are top-notch . And it's cool to see other countries represented too, like Zambia and Morocco . Overall, this achievement is a great reminder that sports can bring people together and create amazing moments ️.

England's win is defo a big deal, but I'm kinda skeptical about all this hype around the Fifpro women's World XI. Like, 6,000 players voted for it? That sounds like some serious FIFA influence to me . And what's with the two African players being included? Don't get me wrong, Barbra Banda and Ghizlane Chebbak are talented, but shouldn't we be celebrating more women from other regions too?

And another thing, I don't think it's fair that only players who made 20 official appearances were eligible for the vote. What about all the other talented players who didn't get a chance to play that many games? It feels like some teams or coaches are giving certain players more opportunities than others.

I guess I'm just saying, let's not get too carried away with the Fifpro rankings just yet. There's gotta be more to it than just a bunch of votes from a select group of players .
