The Lionesses have roared into the final of the Women’s Euros 2022 and will be taking on Germany at Wembley Stadium on Sunday evening.
As the England Women’s team has sailed through their tournament conceding just one goal in five matches, the Lionesses are quickly becoming household names.
Young children are cheering on players like star striker Ellen White and defender Lucy Bronze who are set for stardom after a sensational tournament.

Scott, 35, announced her engagement to Shelly, 37, two and a half years ago in a sweet Instagram post showing off her diamond ring.
Posting on Instagram over Christmas in 2020, Jill said she and Shelly had wanted to host an engagement party for their friends and family but lockdown meant they would have to wait.

Two years ago the pair committed themselves to completing a mammoth sporting challenge in support of The Darby Rimmer MND Foundation.
Ellen ran and walked a total of 150 miles in 30 days while Callum committed to running 150 miles during the same time period.
The charity was set up by husband of Lioness Steph Houghton Stephen Darby and Chris Rimmer, who are both living with the degenerative illness.
On Callum’s birthday in 2018 Ellen posted a sweet tribute to her husband on Instagram.
