Lionesses among star names on Women's Football Awards shortlist

Mary Earps, Sam Kerr and Lauren James are among the big names in the running to be crowned Player of the Year at the 2024 Women's Football Awards.

The full shortlist of nominees was revealed earlier today ahead of the star-studded ceremony in London on May 30.

A host of awards, including Club of the Year and Manager of the Year, will be dished out on the night but all eyes will be on the battle to be recognised as the best player around.

Presented by Lionesses legend Eni Aluko and Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher, the event will celebrate the people, brands and organisations contributing to the rapid growth of the women's game.

Aluko, 37, said: "This year's shortlist is another incredible catalogue of players, brands, celebrities and organisations who continue to grow the presence of women's football around the world.

"We have added four amazing new categories this year, which allows us to celebrate even more of the amazing people, both on and off the pitch, who are achieving so much in the sport.

"The Women's Football Awards is going to be a fantastic event and it's an honour to be a part of it for the second year running."

Carragher, 46, added: "The 2024 Women's Football Awards is set to be a fantastic night celebrating the trailblazers, game changers and outstanding talent in the women's game.

"I am proud to be involved with the awards again and wish everyone on the shortlist the best of luck."

Launched last year, the Women's Football Awards also highlight the work being done off the pitch and away from the spotlight.

And LiveScore are proud to have made the shortlist for the Best Breakthrough Business of the Year award, which recognises our extensive women's football coverage.
