One of our special guests for the evening is Alessia Russo, who won the Player of the Year Award in 2023. She shared her pick for this year's winner, saying she would choose Bunny Shaw for her incredible form this season. We are also honored to have Eni Aluko, a former England player and now a leading broadcaster in women's football, as our co-host for the ceremony.
We are grateful to have SHEIN's continued support for the Women's Football Awards, which helps make this event possible. In addition to dressing our guests, SHEIN will also be partnering with Women In Football to provide support for grassroots women's football teams in the UK.
