The National Football Museum has announced a special induction into the Hall of Fame.

England’s UEFA Women’s EURO 2025-winning squad, along with head coach Sarina Wiegman, will be honoured for their remarkable achievement in Switzerland this summer by being inducted into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame.

This historic recognition marks a first major tournament victory for England on international soil, as well as England’s first ever retention of a major tournament, a second European triumph under Wiegman, and further cements the Lionesses’ place in footballing folklore. 

By lifting the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 trophy against the current world champions, England confirmed their status as one of the dominant forces in world football and inspired millions back home once again with their talent, resilience, and unity.

The induction acknowledges the team who contributed to the campaign, as well as Wiegman, whose leadership has been instrumental in shaping one of the most successful eras in English football history. 

Tim Desmond, National Football Museum CEO, said: “This squad made history - again. To win back-to-back European Championships is a phenomenal achievement, and it’s only right that we honour the team and Sarina Wiegman in our Hall of Fame. Their legacy goes beyond silverware; they’ve changed perceptions, brought the nation together, inspired future generations, and set new standards for English football.”

The special group induction recognises the collective nature of their success, with every squad member playing a part in a landmark tournament that captivated the nation. It also reflects the National Football Museum’s commitment to recognising the women’s game at the highest level, with the formal Hall of Fame presentation taking place later this season.
