England's Hannah Hampton has been named the Best Fifa Women's Goalkeeper, whileManchester City's Gianluigi Donnarumma won the men's award.

Hampton, 25, helped Chelsea win the domestic treble last season and England defend their Euro 2025 title this summer.

Italy's Donnarumma played a significant role in Paris St-Germain's first Champions League triumph before joining City this summer.

Hampton thanked England manager Sarina Weigman and Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor "for the belief in me this year".

"With club and country, we have achieved so much and there is still much more for us to go and get," she said.

"To the fans, both club and country, your support doesn't go unnoticed.

"We hear you cheering every single game loud and proud and it helps push us on to go and get the win for you all. So, thank you very much."

Hampton and Donnarumma won the Yashin Trophy at the Ballon d'Or in September.

Hampton started every game at Euro 2025 - England beat Spain in a penalty shootout in the final - and all Chelsea's matches in an unbeaten Women's Super League season.

She also won the Golden Glove award with 13 clean sheets.
