Harrogate hotshot Rachel Daly is to return to her roots on Sunday to open a cafe named after her.
Killinghall Nomads opened Nomads Daly Brew this year in honour of the England and Aston Villa striker, who started playing football for the junior club near Harrogate.
Now Daly, who is leading this season's race to win the Women's Super League Golden Boot, will return to officially open the cafe.
Sunday's opening, which will take place at 12.30pm at the cafe at Killinghall Moor Community Park, gives local people a rare opportunity to meet the local superstar, who had advertised her attendance to her 327,000 Instagram followers.
England men's manager Gareth Southgate and former England player turned pundit Micah Richards have been invited but it is not known if they will attend.
Daly has had a remarkable season since her summer transfer from Houston Dash to Aston Villa Women.
Her hat-trick in Aston Villa Women's 5-0 defeat of Reading Women on Sunday catapulted her to the top of the list of leading goal scorers in the 2022/23 season.
Whoever finishes top is awarded the prestigious golden boot.
