    England players celebrate with Euro 2022 trophy

    After years as one of the world's top teams, England women's national team finally lifted their first major trophy at Euro 2022.

    England's national women's football team, known affectionately as the Lionesses, have been among the best in the world in recent years. They have consistently been in the top 14 according to the FIFA World Rankings, having been formed roughly half a century ago.

    England were runners-up at UEFA Euro 1984 and UEFA Euro 2009. They also finished third at the 2015 FIFA World Cup and fourth at the 2019 World Cup.
    In July 2022, Chloe Kelly's extra-time winner saw England secure their first major trophy after a 2-1 win over Germany in the Euro 2022 final at Wembley.
    Among the great players to have donned the famous Three Lions have been Fara Williams, Kelly Smith, Hope Powell, Eniola Aluko, Lucy Bronze and, recently, Nikita Parris.
