  • Head coach Sarina Wiegman achieved her third consecutive European Championship title, praising the squad's depth and unity as key to their success.
  • Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was instrumental in the final's penalty shootout, while teenager Michelle Agyemang, named best young player, scored crucial late equalisers in earlier rounds.
