England's women have made a name for themselves in the football world once again. Six of their talented players have been named to the Fifpro Women's World XI, following England's historic victory over Spain at this year's European Championship.
The selection features none other than captain Leah Williamson, goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, defenders Lucy Bronze and Chloe Kelly, and forwards Alessia Russo. But what might surprise fans is that only one of these players - Lucy Bronze - has made the list every year since its inception. The 34-year-old defender from England has achieved a remarkable feat, as she broke Wendie Renard's record for most World XI selections.
The other players on this prestigious team are Barbra Banda and Ghizlane Chebbak of Zambia and Morocco, respectively, and Spain's Ona Batlle, Aitana Bonmatรญ, and Alexia Putellas. The selection is the result of a vote by over 6,000 footballers worldwide.
Interestingly, none of England's team members from this year's European Championship tournament will be part of the World XI. Instead, players like Millie Bright and Chloe Kelly have been selected due to their past achievements with the national team. Bright had retired before the tournament took place but has now decided to hang up her boots.
The Fifpro Women's World XI is seen as a benchmark of excellence in women's football, showcasing some of the best talents from around the globe.
