Alex Greenwood Earns Historic 100th England Cap at UEFA Euro 2025

Manchester City defender and captain Alex Greenwood has officially reached the 100-cap milestone for the England national team, following her start in the Lionesses’ Euro 2025 Group D opener against France.

Greenwood now becomes the 14th woman in England history to earn a century of senior international appearances. She made her senior debut in March 2014 during a Cyprus Cup fixture against Italy.

The 30-year-old has since featured in six major tournaments, representing England in three FIFA World Cups (2015, 2019, 2023) and three UEFA European Championships (2017, 2022, 2025). She played an integral role in England’s historic Euro 2022 title win, which ended a 56-year drought for a major trophy.

Greenwood also appeared in back-to-back World Cup semi-finals in 2015 and 2019, before helping England reach the 2023 World Cup Final. She captained England for the first time during a 2023 Arnold Clark Cup victory over Italy.

In her club career, Greenwood currently captains Manchester City Women, where she remains a key defensive figure and a vocal leader on and off the pitch. Her century milestone comes at a time when England are defending their European title under manager Sarina Wiegman.
