EURO 2025: Two Arsenal Women Stars Make UEFA Team of the Tournament

Following England’s thrilling penalty shootout win over Spain to lift the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 trophy, Arsenal fans have even more reason to celebrate with two Gunners recognised in UEFA’s official Team of the Tournament.

Alessia Russo and Chloe Kelly have both been named among Europe’s elite, after standout performances throughout the Euro 2025 campaign. The UEFA Technical Observer Group, supported by the UEFA analysis unit, watched every match and hand-picked the 11 players who not only delivered consistent quality but also made decisive impacts in the biggest moments, which our Gunners certainly did!

In their statement, UEFA said: “With our selection of players, we have looked to include not only players who have illuminated the tournament with their technical ability and teamwork, but also players who have made a huge impact on the biggest of matches.”

Russo leads the line, Kelly seals the trophy

Arsenal’s Alessia Russo, the Lionesses’ reliable number nine, led the line with her usual power and precision. Her link-up play and ability to hold the ball under pressure gave England a vital focal point throughout the tournament.

Meanwhile, Chloe Kelly once again proved she is a player for the big occasion. After her heroics in EURO 2022 and the 2023 World Cup, the Arsenal winger stepped up when it mattered most, converting the winning penalty in the final shootout.

Their inclusion in UEFA’s Team of the Tournament is richly deserved and highlights the growing Arsenal core at the heart of Sarina Wiegman’s side – with 6 Gunners included in the Lionesses squad.

Arsenal’s Lionesses continue to shine

It was a night to remember for all Gooners, with Russo scoring in the final and Young Gun Michelle Agyemang being crowned Young Player of the Tournament following a breakout campaign for England.

With three major individual honours heading back to north London, and the Lionesses lifting the trophy for a 2nd time, Arsenal Women’s summer could hardly be more decorated, after already becoming Champions of Europe in May 2025.

How proud are you of our Gunneresses?
