Michelle Agyemang, an England striker, has been named the tournament’s youngest player of the year for Euro 2025.

The 19-year-old Swiss forward from Arsenal did not start a single game during the competition’s 138-minute start.

However, she was crucial to the Lionesses’ effort to retain their European title in the Basel penalty shootout victory over Spain.

In the quarter-finals and the semis, Agyemang had scored late equalizers to keep Sarina Wiegman’s side in contention.

Aitana Bonmati, a midfielder from Spain and winner of the Ballon d’Or, was named player of the tournament.

In the opening two games of the tournament, Bonmati, who had been hospitalized with viral meningitis shortly before the tournament, made a comeback.

However, the 27-year-old grew in influence and won the semi-final game against Germany.
