The 10 years that changed women's football
To mark the 10th anniversary of the 大象传媒 Women's Footballer of the Year award, past winners including Ada Hegerberg, Asisat Oshoala and Lucy Bronze reflect on a decade of change.
Back in 2015, 大象传媒 World Service launched the first 大象传媒 Women鈥檚 Footballer of the Year award, to raise the profile of the women鈥檚 game but also highlight key issues within the sport.
Ten years ago, the current Champions League winners Barcelona and the Women鈥檚 Super League in England still weren鈥檛 professional, the Women鈥檚 World Cup was about to kick off in Canada using artificial pitches, much to the dismay of players and coaches 鈥� something which has never been repeated!
To mark an historic 10th year of the award, past winners including Norway鈥檚 Ada Hegerberg, Nigeria鈥檚 Asisat Oshoala and England鈥檚 Lucy Bronze reflect on winning the trophy. Along with previous nominees, they discuss key moments in the last decade and the challenges still ahead for the women鈥檚 game.
