Lucy Bronze, FIFPRO and England’s women’s players
9 November 2026
England defender Lucy Bronze has been selected for the FIFPRO Women’s World 11 for a record ninth time. She is among five England players named in the team, alongside Hannah Hampton, Alex Greenwood, Ella Toone and Alessia Russo.
The team was determined through votes from 6,511 professional female footballers representing 64 countries. Players were assessed on performances between August 2025 and August 2026. Irene Paredes returned to the selection, while Barbra Banda was the only player chosen from outside England or Spain.
Why It Matters
Bronze extends her record in a global award decided by fellow professionals, reinforcing her long-standing influence in women's football.
