Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Back in 2015, Â鶹ԼÅÄ World Service launched the first Â鶹ԼÅÄ Women’s Footballer of the Year award, to raise the profile of the women’s game but also highlight key issues within the sport.

Ten years ago, the current Champions League winners Barcelona and the Women’s Super League in England still weren’t professional, the Women’s World Cup was about to kick off in Canada using artificial pitches, much to the dismay of players and coaches – something which has never been repeated!

To mark an historic 10th year of the award, past winners including Norway’s Ada Hegerberg, Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala and England’s Lucy Bronze reflect on winning the trophy. Along with previous nominees, they discuss key moments in the last decade and the challenges still ahead for the women’s game.
