Arsenal trio on making Women’s World 11:

Arsenal Trio Included in 2025 FIFPRO Women’s World 11

Arsenal’s Alessia Russo, Leah Williamson, and Chloe Kelly have been selected for the 2025 FIFPRO Women’s World 11, a prestigious global football award voted on exclusively by professional players. Over 6,000 women footballers worldwide participated in choosing their team of the year.

Unlike awards decided by journalists, coaches, or fans, the FIFPRO World 11 is unique because it is chosen solely by players, who are intimately familiar with the sport. The voting covered performances between 11 August 2024 and 3 August 2025, during which the trio achieved significant success for both club and country.

For Alessia Russo and Leah Williamson, this is not their first time: Russo is selected for the second time, and Williamson for the third. Chloe Kelly, however, celebrates her first-ever inclusion in the World 11.

"It feels special when it’s voted for by players – it means everything. They’re the people you want to impress; they’re the people you play with every day. They’re the people that matter most to me and the people you want to do well for."

Summary

The selection of Russo, Williamson, and Kelly underscores their outstanding contributions to Arsenal and England, with peer recognition highlighting their impact on women’s football worldwide.
