England manager Sarina Wiegman has been named women's coach of the year at the 2025 Ballon d'Or awards, while Hannah Hampton collected the Yashin Trophy for best goalkeeper.
The Lionesses beat Spain 3-1 on penalties after the final finished 1-1 after extra time to win Euro 2025 in Switzerland, with Chelsea goalkeeper Hampton, 24, saving two of Spain's efforts in the shootout.
For Wiegman, 55, it was the second time she had guided England to European glory after doing so on home soil in 2021.
She won the award ahead of four coaches, with Chelsea's Sonia Bompastor and Arsenal's Renee Slegers among those also named.
Gunners goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar was one of the players Hampton beat to the Yashin Trophy, along with former Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger.
England striker Michelle Agyemang, who scored vital goals in the Euro 2025 quarter-final against Sweden and in the semi-final against Italy, had been nominated for the Kopa Trophy to celebrate the best young player, but that went to 19-year-old Barcelona and Spain winger Vicky Lopez.
