Belgium – Tessa Wullaert
Belgium's greatest goalscorer, man or woman, Tessa Wullaert can have a devastating effect on a game – just ask England. The forward missed the first of the Red Flames’ encounters with the Lionesses in the Nations League this year as her side lost 5-0.
Just four days later, Wullaert was fit enough to start and scored twice inside the opening 29 minutes to inflict another defeat on England. It was the second time the 32-year-old had scored a brace in a 3-2 win over the Lionesses having derailed their push for Olympic football in the previous Nations League campaign.
Lethal on the counter-attack, the Inter striker has netted almost 100 goals for her country since making her debut in 2011.
Denmark – Pernille Harder
On the domestic stage, Pernille Harder is unparalleled. The Danish forward has won 10 straight league titles across three leagues and four teams, most recently with Bayern Munich.
Her other victories came at Linköping, Wolfsburg and Chelsea with her trophy cabinet holding 22 winners’ medals. There will also be a place for her Euros runners-up medal from 2017 when Denmark lost to the Netherlands in the final.
While international team honours have escaped Harder, individually, she has excelled, winning the Danish Women’s Football Player of the Year eight times, including six times in a row. She was also named UEFA Women’s Player of the Year twice, finishing second in the women’s Ballon d’Or in the first of those years in 2018.
England – Lucy Bronze
When Tough is her middle name, you know what you are getting with Lucy Bronze. The right-back is no-nonsense and has been at the top of her game since breaking through at Sunderland in 2007.
Having traversed the North West, playing for Everton, Liverpool and Manchester City, Bronze crossed the Channel to win three Champions League trophies with Lyon. Individual honours also came there, winning the UEFA Women’s Player of the Year Award in 2019 and the FIFA Best Women’s Player a year later.
A return to Manchester City was followed by a move to Barcelona where two more Champions League titles followed. Back in the UK this season, this time with Chelsea, Bronze became the first women to win three domestic trebles in three different countries.
France – Marie-Antoinette Katoto
With the old guard of France on the way out, Marie-Antoinette Katoto is the new shining star of Les Bleues. The forward has a startling record at international level, with 37 goals from her first 51 appearances.
Her numbers at club level are similarly incredible, having scored 180 goals in 223 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain. She has been an important part of French football since a young age, becoming PSG’s top goalscorer aged just 23.
Katoto has since joined European giants Lyon, a sign of how her star continues to rise.
Germany – Sara Däbritz
The only surviving member of Germany’s Olympic gold-medal winning team in 2016, Sara Däbritz has an impressive medal collection. The midfielder has been Germany’s most experienced player in recent squads having made over 100 appearances for the national team since making her debut aged just 18.
She briefly dropped back down to U-20 level to help her side win the U-20 Women’s World Cup in 2014, having already won a senior Euros title. With Bayern Munich she won her first league title before joining Paris Saint-Germain and winning the first of four Première Ligue titles between PSG and Lyon.
A move to Real Madrid will see her try her hand in a third league but not before she aims to earn Germany its ninth Euros title.
Netherlands – Daniëlle van de Donk
A name well known to Arsenal fans, Daniëlle van de Donk has been playing for the Netherlands for 15 years. She made her debut aged 19 and has gone on to register over 150 appearances. Van de Donk cut her teeth at Willem II and PSV before joining the Gunners in 2015 via Häcken in Sweden and was a key part of their 2018/19 WSL title winning side.
It was also while at Arsenal that international acclaim came, winning the Women’s Euros on home soil before finishing runners-up at the World Cup two years later. More trophies followed after her move to Lyon, winning the Champions League as well as four league titles in a row.
Norway – Caroline Graham Hansen
Can a person with a record as impressive as Caroline Graham Hansen be described as overlooked? Operating on the international stage since she was 16, the winger has so often been the one to help others shine, in part due to the outrageous quality of her passes.
In 2019, she became the first Norwegian ever to play for Barcelona as they began their run of dominance in Liga F. Graham Hansen was the Liga F’s top scorer in the 2023-24 as she was also named in the Best FIFA Women’s 11 and nominated for the Ballon d’Or for the first time, finishing second.
For Norway, she has been crucial, including leading the line at the 2019 World Cup, and has been named their top female player of the year on five occasions.
Poland – Ewa Pajor
While Poland are preparing for their first major tournament, they already have a bona fide star in Ewa Pajor. The captain of her national side has been dominating for club and country since 2013 and scored the winning goal to send Poland to the Euros.
Having won the 2013 U-17 Euros that year, Pajor wasted no time making an impression on the senior stage, scoring nine minutes into her debut. A move to Wolfsburg beckoned with Pajor adding five Bundesliga titles to the two Ekstraliga trophies she had won in Poland.
She has been the top scorer in four different competitions, including in the Copa de la Reina after making the move to Barcelona last season. Since joining Barcelona she has already netted 43 goals in 45 matches to show she is peaking at the right time.
Spain – Aitana Bonmati
Arguably the best player in the world right now, Aitana Bonmati has been dominating football for the past few seasons. The Spanish midfielder is a product of Barcelona’s famous academy and has repaid them handsomely, winning three Champions League titles and six consecutive league titles.

Individually, Bonmati is a back-to-back Ballon d’Or and FIFA Best winner, also picking up the Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year award in 2024 to show her impact is across more than just football. With La Roja she has been equally successful – at age grade she won the U-17 and U-19 Euros, also reaching the final of the U-17 and U-20 World Cups.
As a senior player, Bonmati was a key member of their World Cup win in 2023, winning the Golden Ball.
Wales – Jess Fishlock
There would be no Euros for Wales without Jess Fishlock, their captain and all-time top scorer. Since making her debut in 2006, she has given her heart and soul to Cymru, all the while travelling the world.
Fishlock has not played on British shores since 2013, apart from a loan appearance for Reading during the pandemic. Instead, the midfielder is one of the originals of NWSL side Seattle Reign, having also played in seven different countries since starting at Cardiff City in 2002.
For Wales, she has been the first player to 100 and 150 appearances, and also leads the way in goals across both the men’s and the women’s team.
