Nominees announced for 2024 Women's Football Awards.

In 2023, Alessia Russo was named the Player of the Year, an incredible achievement for the talented athlete. And as we eagerly anticipate the 2024 ceremony, we can expect to see the return of Eni Aluko and Jamie Carragher as our hosts for the evening.

But the excitement doesn't stop there. Today, the full list of nominees for the 2024 Women's Football Awards has been revealed, building up the anticipation for the star-studded event happening in London on Thursday 30 May. Eni Aluko and Jamie Carragher will once again be leading the celebrations, honoring the individuals, brands, and organizations that have contributed to the remarkable growth of women's football.

You can find the complete list of nominees at the bottom of this article, with instructions on how to cast your vote. One of the top honors of the night is the Player of the Year award, with Mary Earps competing against other outstanding players like Sam Kerr and Lauren James. And in the International Football Player of the Year category, we have the likes of Lucy Bronze and Georgia Stanway representing the Lionesses.

The awards also recognize the remarkable work being done off the field, away from the spotlight. Categories like Grassroots Initiative of the Year and Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Award highlight the significant impact of individuals and organizations in the women's game.

We are thrilled to have Manchester United and England goalkeeper Mary Earps nominated for both the Player of the Year and the 2023 World Cup Hero of the Year awards. And she is not the only Lioness making waves, with Georgia Stanway also among the nominees.

The list of nominees also includes some of the most well-known names in the world of women's football, like BBC's Alex Scott, CBS's Kate Abdo, and TNT Sports' Laura Woods, all competing for the Women's Football Broadcaster or Journalist of the Year award.

Eni Aluko expressed her excitement for this year's shortlist, describing it as a remarkable collection of players, brands, celebrities, and organizations that continue to elevate the presence of women's football globally. She also mentioned the addition of four new categories, allowing us to celebrate even more of the incredible people who have achieved so much in the sport, both on and off the pitch.

Legendary Chelsea boss Emma Hayes, who is in her final season with the Blues, is nominated for Manager or Coach of the Year, along with other top contenders like Manchester City's Gareth Taylor and England's Sarina Wiegman.

Jamie Carragher added to the excitement, emphasizing the significance of the 2024 Women's Football Awards in celebrating the trailblazers, game-changers, and exceptional talent in the women's game. He expressed his pride in being part of the awards for the second year in a row and wished all the shortlisted individuals the best of luck.

The public is invited to cast their votes for the shortlisted nominees on the official website of the Women's Football Awards.
