The Definitive Ranking of Influence in Women’s Football

The Women’s Football Power List is the definitive celebration of the 100 individuals shaping the future of football in Europe. It recognises the visionaries, decision-makers and influential voices working behind the scenes whose leadership is driving the continued growth, commercial success and global profile of the women’s game.

Nominations are submitted by professionals from across the football industry, ensuring the Power List reflects the breadth of talent and influence across the sport. Every nomination is reviewed by a distinguished judging panel comprising some of the most respected and influential figures in women’s football, creating a credible and authoritative recognition of those making the greatest impact off the pitch.

Published in partnership with Metro, the Women’s Football Power List is more than a ranking – it is the definitive annual benchmark of influence in women’s football. It shines a spotlight on the people shaping the future of the game while providing brands with the opportunity to align with one of the fastest-growing and most progressive movements in global sport.

The Power List celebrates the women leading football from the boardroom, the back office and beyond, including executives, commercial leaders, club and league professionals, governing body representatives, investors, marketers, broadcasters, lawyers, agents, innovators, entrepreneurs and industry pioneers whose work is transforming every aspect of the game.

The inaugural Women’s Football Power List will be presented at an exclusive launch lunch in Manchester in November 2026, where nominees, judges, industry leaders, partners and media come together to celebrate the women whose vision, leadership and ambition continue to redefine the future of football.
