We are delighted to announce that Leah Williamson has been recognised in the New Year Honours List 2026.
Leah has been awarded a CBE for services to association football. The award comes at the end of an unforgettable year in which she helped us win the UEFA Women’s Champions League in May before leading England to a second consecutive UEFA European Championship crown in July.
Our vice captain, Leah has made 274 appearances for us since her journey began with us some 20 years ago. She was awarded an OBE in 2023 following the Lionesses’ first Euros triumph in 2022.
