NEW DELHI: England goalkeeper Mary Earps is now the first female footballer to have a wax figure at Madame Tussauds.
Earps was chosen by the public to be immortalized in wax at the London museum. The Paris Saint-Germain player was instrumental in England's second-place finish at the 2023 Women's World Cup.
The figure features Earps in the green goalkeeper uniform she wore during the World Cup final. It was created through a year-long collaboration between Earps and Madame Tussauds.
“To make this mark as the first female footballer to have a figure at Madame Tussauds London is incredibly special,” Earps said. “This is not about me. This is a representation of how women's football has grown, and the trajectory it's on.”
