Fran Kirby, who won Women's Euros 2022 with England, retires from international football
England women's midfielder Fran Kirby, who earned 77 caps for the Lionesses, announced her retirement from international football on Tuesday, a month before the European Championship. Best known for her role in England's historic Euro 2022 triumph, the 31-year-old started all six games in the tournament, scoring twice and registering three assists. 'After being in the England team since the age of 21, it's time to close that chapter of my life. I never wanted this day to come, but I cannot tell you how proud I am that it happened,' Kirby said in a statement on social media. 'Representing my country has been the greatest honour and a dream come true from my younger years,' she added. Kirby joined the national team at the age of 21 and her last appearance came as a second-half substitute in last week's 6-0 win over Portugal. She was not included in the squad for Tuesday's 1-2 loss against Spain. Having struggled with injury and illness throughout her career, she missed the 2023 Women's World Cup due to a knee injury that required surgery. 'My journey has been full of ups and downs, setbacks and achievements. Enough has been said and written about those, but regardless of whatever was thrown at me, I want you all to know that every time I put on that England badge, I gave it my all,' Kirby added. Former Chelsea player Kirby won seven Women's Super League titles and five FA Cup trophies during her time at the London club. This season, she scored seven goals in 17 appearances for Brighton, who finished fifth.

Her appointment follows in the footsteps of Nita Ambani, honoured last year for humanitarian excellence, further underlining India's growing influence in global philanthropy. Wearing a stunning custom Tarun Tahiliani saree, Sudha Reddy embodied Indian heritage with contemporary flair. The blush Kanjeevaram saree with William Morris-inspired motifs, lace wings, and intricate embellishments radiated elegance and symbolism. Her look was completed with a 250-carat gemstone neckpiece, blending rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds in white gold. Reddy hosted the Beauty With A Purpose Gala at her private Hyderabad residence, Mon Amour Palais, welcoming 108 contestants and showcasing Telangana's cultural hospitality. The event was also broadcast at Times Square, underscoring Hyderabad's global presence. In her speech, Reddy emphasized the emotional weight of receiving the honor in her home state and expressed gratitude to the Telangana Government and Tourism Board. She reaffirmed her mission to amplify humanitarian efforts and promote Indian artistry on global platforms. Chairperson Julia Morley awarded Reddy the ambassadorial title, praising her dedication. Reddy also served as a jury member for Miss World 2025, further contributing her vision to the iconic event. The Miss World pageant's return to India after nearly three decades celebrates not just beauty, but purposeful global change. Under Reddy's ambassadorship, the Beauty With A Purpose initiative—focusing on education, women's rights, child health, and disaster relief—enters a bold new chapter.
