Women's Super League teams will continue to take the knee following the Jess Carter racism row during the 2025 European Championship. In July, Carter took to social media to outline the abuse she had received during the tournament and announced her intention to step back from online platforms. Before their semi-final clash, England had announced they would stop taking the knee as a mark of protest.
Spain goalkeeper Cata Coll has disputed Hannah Hampton’s claim that she threw her water bottle – containing penalty notes – into the crowd during the Euro 2025 final. The England shot-stopper recently told the story in an interview, but Coll has now responded on social media, telling the Lionesses hero to 'calm down' as she questioned the truth of the incident.
England’s Euro 2025 champions were celebrated across EFL grounds this weekend, with fans and players paying tribute to Chloe Kelly, Hannah Hampton and other Lionesses after their historic victory over Spain. The squad, fresh from their Basel triumph, received a warm welcome across the country.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot, Lionesses manager Sarina Wiegman and Paris Saint-Germain's Luis Enrique are among the prominent nominees for the Johan Cruyff awards that will be given away at the 2025 Ballon d'Or.

Chloe Kelly is still soaking in England’s Euro 2025 glory, with the Arsenal forward hosting a massive street party in her hometown of Hanwell to cap off a stunning summer. After netting the winning penalty in the final, the Lionesses star joined friends and family to celebrate her heroics in style — even breaking out her dance moves for the cameras.
