DETAILS FOR THE BEST FIFA WOMEN'S PLAYER AWARD
The 12-woman shortlist for The Best FIFA Women’s Player 2019 award - based on their respective achievements during the period from 25 May 2018 to 7 July 2019 inclusive - has been compiled by a panel of experts in women’s football.
The United States forward grabbed headlines for her feud with Donald Trump, as well as with digs at FIFA's scheduling and U.S. Soccer as part of the team's equal pay dispute, but she also collected the tournament's Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards as well as a winners' medal.
Three of her national team-mates join her on the shortlist, with midfielders Julie Ertz and Rose Lavelle - who won the Bronze Ball - and forward Alex Morgan, who collected the Silver Boot, also nominated.
Brazilian legend striker Marta was named the Best Women's player in 2018.
