The 2025 Women’s European Championship is underway and there is a host of attacking talent on display.
Sometimes, a good goalscorer can be the difference between winning a tournament and falling short. Nine of the previous 13 women’s European champions have had a player also win the Golden Boot in that tournament. It was the case at Euro 2022, with Beth Mead sharing the Golden Boot alongside Alexandra Popp as England lifted the trophy. And Germany’s chances of winning the final dropped slightly after Popp’s pre-match injury.
So, who’s expected to challenge for the Golden Boot at Women’s Euro 2025?

Women’s Euros Golden Boot past winners, stats and facts
As always, the Golden Boot is given to a tournament’s top goalscorer, and some famous names have received the award in the past. Some of the Golden Boots were won by a few as two goals, with the Women’s European Championship starting off as just a four-team tournament. But that makes the likes of Pia Sundhage scoring four goals in 1984 even more impressive.
The Golden Boot has been shared four times, including three years ago when Beth Mead and Alexandra Popp both scored six goals. That’s the record for the most goals in a single Women’s European Championship, with Inka Grings also hitting that mark in 2009.
Grings is also top of the all-time scoring charts at Women’s European Championships, netting 10 across just two tournaments. She’s joined by Germany teammate Birgit Prinz, who scored her 10 goals across five tournaments.
