Have your say and cast your vote to pick the best female football player for the 2022-2023 season.
GOAL50 is here. The 2022 season saw Alexia Putellas crowned as the Barcelona Femeni star claiming her second straight GOAL50 award, ahead of her Spanish teammate Aitana Bonmati and American forward Alex Morgan.
For the 2023 award, Putellas faces an ACL injury that sidelines her from contention. A crowd of elite contenders including Sophia Smith, Lauren James, Bunny Shaw, Caroline Graham Hansen, and many more are in the running for the crown.
GOAL has shortlisted the 50 top performers, male and female, based on their performances during the 2022-2023 season, and the final choice rests with fans.
The two players with the most votes in the randomized matchups within each category will be declared the GOAL50 winner for the year.
Polling stations remain open from the announced start date to the announced end date, and this year a drawing will reward all participants.
Now it is the public’s turn to vote. See the list of 50 nominees in the women’s category below.
Are there also men’s nominees such as Messi, Haaland, or Mbappe? Yes, the men’s list is available for voting as well.
GOAL has curated this season’s standout performers to celebrate achievements across the women’s game and highlight rising stars alongside established champions.
