The entire England Euro 2025 squad and manager Sarina Wiegman will be inducted into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame.
Lionesses to be inducted into National Football Museum Hall of Fame
Sky Sports have reported that every player in the England squad from Euro 2025, as well as head coach Sarina Wiegman will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at Manchester’s National Football Museum.
It comes after the Lionesses became the first senior England squad to win a major tournament on international soil.
They also became the first senior England squad to successfully defend a trophy, after previously winning Euro 2022 on home turf.
England defied the odds to come from behind in each of their three knockout phase matches, to go on and win the tournament.
Against Spain, they fell behind to a Mariona Caldentey goal, before a second-half Alessia Russo header took the game to extra-time.
In penalties, Hannah Hampton saved spot-kicks from Aitana Bonmati and Caldentey, before Chloe Kelly scored the winning penalty for the Lionesses.
The Lionesses have been celebrating their triumph this week. A trophy parade was held in London on Tuesday in front of thousands of fans.
UK betting websites have already made the Lionesses 3/1 second-favourites behind Spain to win the tournament again four year’s time.
