Nominations are now open for the 2024 Women’s Football Awards following another ground-breaking year for the women’s game.
Launched in 2023, in association with Daily Mail Sport and Metro, the Women’s Football Awards are the biggest awards event in women’s football.
They celebrate the players, people, brands and organisations who are helping to grow the sport – from World Cup heroes to broadcasters to those working at grassroots level.
Last year’s winners included Arsenal forward Alessia Russo, Chelsea star Lauren James and Barcelona’s Keira Walsh.
The final shortlist for the awards will be unveiled in February ahead of the star-studded awards ceremony on 30th May, and fans can now nominate their heroes of the game.
‘I am excited to be involved again and encourage the public to nominate now,’ Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, who will co-host the awards, said.
‘The Women’s Football Awards is special because it not only celebrates the success on the pitch but shines a light on the people and organisations working behind-the scenes to push the growth of the game forward.’
