Emily Fox has capped an extraordinary year by being shortlisted for the 2024/25 CONCACAF Player of the Year award, recognition that reflects her impact at both club and international level.
The American full-back has enjoyed a remarkable rise since joining Arsenal from North Carolina Courage in January 2024, becoming first choice almost immediately and a central figure in the club's Champions League triumph in Lisbon last season.
She played the full 90 minutes of the 1-0 victory over Barcelona in the final, earning a place in the UEFA competition's Best XI and reinforcing her reputation as one of the most reliable defenders in the game.
A nomination for the Ballon d'Or confirmed her elevation to the elite bracket of women's football.
