GoFundMe has reopened a fundraiser to give Lioness jerseys to girls who cannot afford them.

The fundraiser was started by football coach and former defender Anita Asante back in May and the crowdsourcing platform tweeted that the fundraiser would reopen following the historic win at the 2022 Euros.

"In light of the Lionesses' incredible win yesterday we have reopened a fundraiser launched by former midfielder @NicenNeetz to provide England shirts to young girls who cannot afford to buy their own," the official GoFundMe Twitter account announced on Monday.

"She has provided more than 50 girls with their very own England shirt so far.

"We also wanted to extend a massive congratulations to @lionesses #itscomehome."

Anita has set a goal of £10,000 to help young people get their hands on a Lioness jersey and as of Monday (1 August), more than £7,800 has been raised and is still rising.

The ladies have undoubtedly inspired countless young girls and boys across the country after a tense final match against Germany on Sunday (31 July).

The team beat Germany 2-1 after extra-time in a tense encounter at Wembley Stadium.

The Lionesses ended England's 56-year wait for a major trophy by claiming a first tournament win since 1966.

Although it did land her with a yellow card, Chloe's passionate celebration meant an awful lot to the 87,000 spectators, and 17.6 million football fans watching at home.

The groundbreaking win has given Brits both young and old something to celebrate.

One of the Lionesses' biggest supporters is Prince William, who was in attendance at Wembley to cheer them on.

The Duke of Cambridge, who is the President of the Football Association, was down on the pitch to celebrate with the ladies as soon as the final goal was scored.

While shaking hands with all of the players, Prince William went in for a heartfelt hug when he reached team captain Leah Williamson.

Queen Elizabeth shared her 'warmest congratulations' after the ladies' win in a statement. She said: "My warmest congratulations, and those of my family, go to you all on winning the European Women’s Football Championships.

"It is a significant achievement for the entire team, including your support staff. The Championships and your performance in them have rightly won praise.

"However, your success goes far beyond the trophy you have so deservedly earned. You have all set an example that will be an inspiration for girls and women today, and for future generations.

"It is my hope that you will be as proud of the impact you have had on your sport as you are of the result today."
