Hannah Hampton’s journey to becoming a UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 Champion is a story of grit and excellence. After being told as a child that she couldn’t be a goalkeeper due to an eye condition, she proved every doubt wrong to become England’s No 1. In the Euro 2025 final against Spain, Hannah saved penalties from Aitana Bonmati and Mariona Caldentey, securing a 3-1 shootout victory after a 1-1 draw. Her heroics under pressure earned her Player of the Match in the final, a fitting recognition for the player who kept England alive throughout the knockout rounds.
Her club career has gone from strength to strength. After breaking through at Birmingham City, where she made 50 senior appearances and won both Young Player of the Season (2018–19) and Player of the Season (2020–21), Hannah signed for Aston Villa in 2021. She moved to Chelsea in 2023, where she has become a key figure, making over 30 appearances and winning the WSL Golden Glove for the 2024–25 season. Known for her lightning reactions, bravery, and exceptional distribution, Hannah has firmly established herself among the top goalkeepers in the world.
On the international stage, Hannah has risen through the ranks, representing England at youth level before making her senior debut in the 2022 Arnold Clark Cup. She was part of the Euro 2022-winning squad, featured in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and entered Euro 2025 as the only goalkeeper with prior senior tournament experience. Throughout England’s dramatic campaign, Hannah was a standout performer - saving four penalties across two shootouts and earning Player of the Match in both the quarter-final and final - helping the Lionesses lift the trophy once again.
Beyond the pitch, Hannah is building a growing reputation as a football speaker, sharing powerful lessons on resilience, leadership, and performing under pressure. Awarded the Freedom of the City of London in 2022, she inspires audiences with her honesty and determination. Whether she’s talking to young athletes, corporate leaders, or fans of the game, Hannah connects with people through her personal story and insight from elite-level competition.
