ENGLAND and Chelsea’s Hannah Hampton was named the Best Fifa Women’s Goalkeeper for 2025 today.

Hampton played a starring role for England during the successful defence of their European Championship title in the summer and helped Chelsea to win the domestic treble.

The 25-year-old thanked the voters and respective England and Chelsea head coaches Sarina Wiegman and Sonia Bompastor for their backing.

Hampton told Chelsea’s official website: “Thank you very much to everyone who voted. It is greatly appreciated and really means a lot.

“Thank you to Sarina and Sonia for the belief in me this year. With club and country, we have achieved so much and there is still much more for us to go and get.

“To the fans, both club and country, your support doesn’t go unnoticed. We hear you cheering every single game loud and proud and it helps push us on to go and get the win for you all. So, thank you very much.”

Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was named The Best Fifa Men’s Goalkeeper for 2025 after helping Paris St Germain to a quadruple in his final season with the club.

Donnarumma, 26, lifted the Champions League for the first time in his career at the end of a campaign in which PSG won a domestic treble in France.

Despite that, Donnarumma was allowed to leave the French capital in the summer, joining Pep Guardiola’s Man City.

“It is a great honour to win this prestigious award and I would like to thank everyone who voted for me,” Donnarumma said. “I feel extremely proud to have been named as the best in the world and ahead of such wonderful goalkeepers too, who I have great respect and admiration for.

“It was an incredible year, one that will live long in my memory, and it’s touching to be recognised for my role in the success achieved over that period. I will truly appreciate this acknowledgment and look ahead now to achieving more success with my new club Manchester City.”
