Getting to the World Cup final is no easy feat; in fact, it represents a record-breaking achievement for the Lionesses as they claimed the all-important spot for the first time since 1966. To commemorate their brilliance, Madame Tussauds has announced that one member of the team will receive their own waxwork, to be displayed at the world-famous London attraction. But with an entire football squad to choose from, which player will be the lucky one?

The decision falls to the general public: you can now cast your vote to decide which team member should be selected. You can choose between eight players, including goalkeeper Mary Earps, team captain, Millie Bright, and Head Coach Sarina Wiegman.

Voting is open via the Madame Tussauds website until 8 September 2023, and results will be announced within the next year. Don’t miss out on having your say – yours could very well be the deciding vote. 

There are, of course, plenty of stars on show at Madame Tussauds, from royals to Hollywood actors and world-famous athletes. If you fancy paying the museum a visit and taking a look at some more female trailblazers, we’ve rounded up a few of our favourites.
