Hinata Miyazawa is the first player to win the individual award, despite her team only reaching the quarter-finals. In previous Women’s World Cups, the Golden Boot winners have all reached the final or played in the third-place match with their teams.
Goalkeeper Mary Earps received the “Golden Glove” award for the best goalkeeper at the 2023 World Cup. Although the England women’s team lost 0-1 to the Spain women’s team, Mary Earps left her mark in the final when she successfully saved Jennifer Hermoso’s penalty.
