Have you got an amazing young female player on your team? Has she got what it takes to grow from grassroots to greatness? Could she become a Lioness of the future? 

Yes? Here’s your chance to refer a player and she could take her first step on the Women’s England Talent Pathway. The Referral Window is open from the 6th January to 6th February 2025 so now’s the perfect time to act.

Since England Football started, they’ve seen over 6,724 unique referrals and a host of talent that we wouldn’t have discovered without your support.

Anyone can refer a player (except the parent of the player) so whether you are a coach, a volunteer, match official or teacher… whether you support football in grassroots, a community environment, within education or somewhere else, we need you to help us find future talent.

Players need to be eligible to represent England to be nominated, and during the 2024-2025 season, must be born in 2009, 2010 or 2011 (if you live overseas this extends to players born in 2007 and 2008 also).

Our aim is to ensure we supply England teams with the quality, diversity and depth of players to enable England to win another major tournament. In pursuit of this ambition, we’re leaving no stone unturned when it comes to finding future talent across England.

Make sure you watch our Future Lioness Characteristics videos to see what we are looking for in young talent and potential.

The dates for the next referral window are 6th January - 6th February 2025, please click below to access the Player Referral Form during this period. 

So, it’s over to you. If you have a player in mind, all you need to do is refer her by filling in our Player Referral Form and we will do the rest.
