Keir Starmer hints Lionesses in line for honours after historic Euro 2025 triumph

By staff2 August 2025No Comments4 Mins Read

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has declared that “recognition is coming” for England’s Lionesses after they beat Spain on penalties to win Euro 2025 last month

Prim Minister Sir Keir Starmer has hinted that England’s Lionesses will be recognised after their historic Euro 2025 triumph. England successfully retained the trophy they won for the first time three years ago, beating Spain in a dramatic penalty shootout in the final.

A number of key players received honours after the 2022 victory, with captain Leah Williamson awarded an OBE and Lucy Bronze, Beth Mead and Ellen White becoming MBEs. Head coach Sarina Wiegman was awarded an honorary CBE.

Millie Bright was given an OBE after England finished runners-up at the 2023 World Cup, while Mary Earps and Lauren Hemp were also awarded MBEs after that tournament. A report from the Guardian has claimed that Chloe Kelly and Hannah Hampton are set to be awarded MBEs as a result of their heroics in Switzerland.

And Starmer has now declared that “recognition is coming” for the England squad. “I was lucky enough to be at the final, and I can tell you that English heads never went down,” Starmer wrote in the Sun on Sunday.

“The grit and determination that saw us come back in every one of those knock-out games was born of the same grit and determination with which this team faced down outdated attitudes that prevented some of their predecessors from even playing.

“It’s the same courage and determination with which they called out vile and racist online abuse during the tournament. When the Lionesses put that England shirt on, they stand for what we stand for together: England, in all its glory, with our shared history and values — decency, fairness and respect.

“I have spoken to these players and heard their passion — for the game, for their country, and for the next generation that they want to inspire. The pride, resilience and unity that define this team, define the very best of who we are.

“It has shown us, once again, what this country can achieve. And I cannot think of better role models for our nation. What Sarina and our Lionesses have achieved is nothing short of remarkable.

“So recognition is coming — and it will be worthy of their historic success. But the greatest tribute will be to use the inspiration of this summer to deliver a legacy the Lionesses have fought for: equal access to all sport for girls and boys.

“This government is rolling up its sleeves and making that a reality. The Lionesses have made an entire nation proud. We’re determined to deliver a legacy they can be proud of too.”
