PFA Women's Player of the Year Race Heats Up

Khadija Bunny Shaw leads the PFA Women’s Player of the Year race after a sensational 21-goal season that helped Manchester City win the WSL and FA Cup, already earning her the Football Writers’ Award. Yui Hasegawa, her standout teammate, is also a top contender. Alessia Russo, Lauren James, Jess Park, and Kirsty Hanson round out the nominees in a fiercely competitive field. The awards ceremony on August 25 in Manchester will reveal the winner — a vote that reflects players’ respect for each other on the pitch. Meanwhile, the Young Player of the Year category is equally stacked, featuring Laura Blindkilde Brown, Alyssa Thompson, Veerle Buurman, Toko Koga, Olivia Smith, and Freya Godfrey — all rising stars making their mark. It’s a night of celebration for the game’s brightest talents. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
