As the Lionesses win the Sports Icon award at the GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards 2023, players Jess Carter, Bethany England, Alessia Russo and former GLAMOUR coverstar Chloe Kelly accepted the gong on behalf of their team.

And forced our government to commit to providing girls with equal access to sports in schools. “Thanks to their undeniable talent and tenacity, not only are they doing the nation proud, they’re changing the face of an entire sport. As well as drawing record-breaking crowds in stadiums and on our screens across the world.
