We are looking for any player, from anywhere, at any time and are asking people involved in all formats of the game to nominate girls who they believe have the potential to become a Future Lioness. 

Anyone can refer a player (except family/friends 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 living in England need to be eligible to represent England to be nominated, and during the 2026-2027 season, must be born between 2011 and 2013.

Players living overseas need to be eligible to represent England to be nominated, and during the 2026-2027 season, must be born between 2008 and 2013.

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