Chelsea and England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton has been voted BBC Women’s Footballer of the Year 2025 after a stand-out 12 months for club and country.
Hampton helped Chelsea win a domestic treble last season, keeping 13 clean sheets in 22 Women’s Super League games.
And after becoming England’s first choice goalkeeper, the 25-year-old saved two penalties in a shootout in the final against Spain, as the Lionesses won Euro 2025.
England team-mate Alessia Russo finished second and Spain’s Aitana Bonmati was third in the public vote.
Spain duo Patri Guijarro and Mariona Caldentey were also contenders chosen by a panel of experts, including coaches, players, administrators and journalists, based on performances over 12 months from September 2024 to August 2025.
“I definitely didn’t expect it with all the other players nominated,” Hampton told BBC Sport.
“I think they’ve all had unbelievable years.”
Hampton is only the second goalkeeper to win the award after former England colleague Earps did so in 2023.
