Arsenal Women Announce 2025/26 Squad Under Renée Slegers
Arsenal Women have officially unveiled their squad for the 2025/26 season, confirming a blend of experience and youthful talent as they aim to build on last year’s successes. Renée Slegers, who was permanently appointed as head coach in January 2025, will continue to lead the team, bringing stability and a clear vision to the club.
The squad features a strong core of established players who have been instrumental in the team’s recent performances. Captain Leah Williamson remains a pivotal figure, offering leadership both on and off the pitch, while midfield lynchpins like Kim Little and Lia Wälti provide creativity and control in the middle of the park. Arsenal’s attacking options are equally impressive, with emerging talents such as Emma Snerle and Elise Thorsnes expected to challenge for regular starting roles alongside proven forwards like Stine Larsen.
Youth development continues to be a key focus for Arsenal Women. The club has promoted several players from their academy, reflecting a commitment to nurturing the next generation of stars. These young prospects will not only provide depth to the squad but also ensure a sustainable pathway for talent within the club.
In goal, Manuela Zinsberger remains the first-choice keeper, backed by promising understudies who are ready to step up when called upon. Defensively, the team has reinforced its options, ensuring a balanced squad capable of competing on multiple fronts.
Slegers’ vision for the season emphasizes tactical flexibility, high-intensity pressing, and cohesive team play. With the squad now confirmed, Arsenal Women are poised to challenge domestically and in Europe, aiming to add silverware to their illustrious history. Fans can look forward to an exciting campaign as the team combines experience, skill, and youthful exuberance in pursuit of glory.
