Leah Williamson OBE
Leah Williamson OBE is a professional footballer, England captain, and a cornerstone of Arsenal Women, widely respected for her calm leadership, technical excellence, and versatility across defence and midfield. Born in Milton Keynes in 1997, Leah joined Arsenal’s Centre of Excellence at just nine years old and has remained with the club ever since—rising through the ranks to become one of the most accomplished players in the women’s game.
In 2024–25, Leah added a major milestone to her career by helping Arsenal secure the UEFA Women’s Champions League title, a landmark achievement for both her and the club. This historic win cemented her place in the elite of European football and highlighted her leadership on the biggest stage in club competition. In domestic football, she has also won the FA Women’s Super League (2018–19), FA Cup (2013–14, 2015–16), and the Women’s League Cup (2015, 2017–18, 2023-2024). Her early promise was quickly recognised with individual accolades such as FA WSL Cup Player of the Year (2014), England Women’s Youth Player of the Year (2014), and PFA Young Women’s Player of the Year (2015).
Internationally, Leah has represented England since youth level, captaining the U17s, competing in the 2014 FIFA U20 World Cup, and famously converting a decisive retaken penalty in a 2015 U19 qualifier to secure England’s place in the tournament finals. She made her senior debut in 2017 and was part of the squad that reached the semi-finals of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France. In 2022, she captained the Lionesses to their historic victory at the UEFA Women’s Euro, marking England’s first major football trophy since 1966. She has also represented Team GB at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and helped England win both the SheBelieves Cup (2019) and Arnold Clark Cup (2022, 2023).
Off the pitch, Leah is a role model and one of the most recognisable figures in English sport. A proud Nike athlete, she has collaborated with leading global brands including Gucci, Vogue, Dyson, Cadbury’s, Aston Martin, Pepsi, TOCA Social, Walkers, and Mastercard. Leah has also graced the covers of leading publications including Wonderland, GQ, Women’s Health, and The Sunday Times Style, and has been featured in high-profile titles such as Vogue, Club 71, and POP Magazine.
In 2023, she was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her services to football.
