Arsenal's Mead, had a standout tournament and was named the best player and top scorer. White, meanwhile, was a crucial figure in the team's attack before her retirement in August. Bronze, a right-back with Barcelona, was voted the world's best player in 2020.

I would also like to share my congratulations to Leah, Beth, Ellen, and Lucy, their recognition is a reflection of a brilliant 12 months for the whole squad and the excellent work they all do on and off the pitch."
