Women football has developed massively across the world with the emergence of fantastic talents.

Alexia Putellas (Spain)
Putellas is a Spanish midfielder who plays for Barcelona in the La Liga Feminine.
She has two Ballon d’Or prizes to her name, which she won in 2021 and 2022, as well as the best FIFA best women's player award in 2021/22 and golden player award in 2022.
The Spanish skipper is the most decorated player going into the World Cup with 53 individual football awards to her name.
Marta (Brazil)
Marta Vieira da Silva has earned 174 caps for Brazil scoring 115 goals since 2002.
The veteran attacker has seen it all at the top level and this is going to be her fifth, probably her last, women's world cup competition.
In the 37-year-old, Brazil have got an experienced forward who can decide the outcome of games on any day.
Samantha May Kerr (Australia)
The Australian striker has carved a niche for her self at Chelsea as one of the most potent strikers in women's world football currently.
An agile forward who has the knack for scoring world class goals, Kerr has banged in 54 goals in 67 games for Chelsea since 2020.
Going into the World Cup with Australia on home soil, she could easily finish as the top scorer.

He is among the most capped players in women's world football, having made 207 appearances for US scoring 121 goals.
Born in Los Angeles, Morgan is undoubtedly the star to watch in the American team and the World Cup at large.
Khadija Shaw (Jamaica)
The Jamaican forward plies her trade with the women's team of Manchester City.
She was on fire in the 2022/23 season, scoring 31 goals in 30 games.
