This was The FA’s 16th annual event to celebrate the best of domestic women’s football, held in November, at London’s Madame Tussauds.
Chelsea’s South Korean international midfielder Ji So-Yun was named FA WSL 1 Players’ Player of the Year, whilst Reading’s Fran Kirby scooped the FA WSL 2 Players’ award.
In The FA Women’s Premier League (WPL), Helen Mitchell was named Manager of the Year after leading her Sheffield FC Ladies team to the Northern League title and FA WPL Cup. Sheffield also took the FA WPL Club of the Year award back to South Yorkshire.
In the final award of the night, Sheila Rollinson was recognised for her outstanding contribution to women’s football.
Kelly Simmons, FA director of national game and women’s football, said: “This has been another fantastic season of women’s football and an evening like this really showcases how much quality there is across the leagues, from players to managers and the staff working behind the scenes.
“Introducing FA WSL 2, along with promotion and relegation between FA WSL 1, has really driven the competition forward as we saw on those particularly dramatic last days in both divisions.
“The formation of the new FA WPL is another important development for the women’s game and there are now clear pathways for girls and women anywhere across the country to play at the highest level.”
