ITV pundits at Women’s Euro 2025
Karen Carney
As well as being a leading voice in the FA and a former Lioness with 144 caps to her name, former Birmingham City, Chelsea and Arsenal winger Karen Carney is building a mighty portfolio of football punditry.
Carney has lent her insight to Sky Sports’ coverage of the Women’s Super League and her co-commentary skills to CBS Sports’ Champions League matches. In 2022, she joined ITV and became a fixture of major international tournaments and the England women’s team.
Emma Hayes
Credited with bringing clear tactical co-commentary to English football, not least the women’s game, former Chelsea manager Emma Hayes quickly gained a positive reputation among viewers.
She left Chelsea in 2024 with seven Women’s Super League titles to her name and became the manager of the United States Women’s National Team, with whom she has won 19 of her first 23 matches and will expect – and be expected – to launch a meaningful assault on the next World Cup.
Vicky Losada
Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Vicky Losada is one of a handful of active players who’ll be on punditry duty at Women’s Euro 2025. She retired from international football in 2020 after playing 65 times for Spain.
Losada’s club career has been a trophy-laden affair. The Catalan won the Spanish title six times and the Champions League once across three spells as a Barcelona player. She has played for Arsenal and Manchester City, and joined the Seagulls from Roma in 2023.
Laura Georges
Laura Georges will bring to the studio the experience of an incredible 188 international caps for France. The former Lyon and Paris Saint-German defender won titles for fun with OL including back-to-back Champions League titles in 2010-11 and 2011-12.
Before concluding her career with a brief spell in Germany, she played for Les Bleues for 17 years and was named in the France squad for four consecutive European Championship tournaments between 2005 and 2017.
Jayne Ludlow
Arsenal legend Jayne Ludlow managed the Wales national team between 2014 and 2021 and will be in Switzerland with ITV to guide viewers as her old team take on the Netherlands, France and England.
Ludlow has also worked in a technical role at leading Women’s Super League club Manchester City and has made regular punditry appearances covering women’s football at both club and international level for Sky Sports and BBC Sport, but it’ll be the ITV studio she visits at Euro 2025.
Eni Aluko
Despite briefly being pushed aside in the aftermath of an unnecessary spat with Ian Wright, former Lioness Eni Aluko returns to the ITV fold at Women’s Euro 2025 and Wright will not be joining her.
Aluko played for Birmingham City, Chelsea, Juventus and others in an 18-year playing career, and made more than 100 appearances for England between 2004 and 2016. Since retiring, she has pursued a career in punditry and has worked in technical leadership roles at several clubs including Aston Villa.
Caroline Weir
Real Madrid star Caroline Weir is an active Scotland international with more than 100 caps and is recognised as one of the best women’s players in Spanish football over the last few years.
Weir, who previously played for Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, is taking her first steps in the media and has contributed to a handful of Man City matches for local BBC radio. She represented Team GB at the delayed Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021.
