MIAMI, Florida – Players from the six different national teams that represented Concacaf at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup shined every chance they had when stepping onto the field, helping their teams perform on the biggest stage of international football.

GK Rebecca Spencer (JAM) - The goalkeeper of the Reggae Girlz was a key part of the team, not conceding a goal in the group stage, and just one getting past her in Jamaica’s first ever Round of 16 contest. No doubt she had one of the best performances of the tournament.

DF Naomi Girma (USA) - Even though it was her first FWWC, Girma led the backline of the USWNT with experience, starting all four matches and helping her team every match.

DF Chantelle Swaby (JAM) - Jamaica was outstanding in their defensive lines, with Swaby stopping everyone that came her way in Jamaica’s four matches while defending her area.

DF Allyson Swaby (JAM) - The Swaby sisters were brilliant for the Reggae Girlz in this FWWC, as Allyson was also a leader and played a key role in defending Jamaica’s area, helping keep a clean sheet for her team in the three group stage matches.

DF Ashley Lawrence (CAN) - The Canadian defender had one of the most consistent performances for the CWNT in this FWWC, not only in the back, but also creating some chances for her team to score.

MF Quinn (CAN) - Quinn served as an anchor in the Canadian midfield, starting all three matches and helping create some of the best scoring chances for the reigning Olympic champions in the group stage.

MF Lindsey Horan (USA) - Captain and leader for the USWNT, Horan was one of the most important players for the four-time champions, scoring the U.S. goal in the 1-1 draw with the Netherlands and the third goal in the opening 3-0 win over Vietnam.

MF Marta Cox (PAN) - One of the biggest difference-makers for the Panama Women’s National Team, Cox stunned the world with her 35-yard banger free kick against France and her leadership throughout the group stage

FW Sophia Smith (USA) - The world was watching and she delivered, scoring two goals and adding an assist in her FWWC debut, being one of the most dangerous players on the front line for the USWNT.

FW Melissa Herrera (CRC) - In La Sele’s second FWWC, Herrera became one of their most essential players when it came to attacking their opponents and tallied the Ticas’ goal in their finale versus Zambia.

FW Melchie Dumornay (HAI) - The wonder kid player everyone was talking about. Dumornay was the biggest difference-maker for Haiti, stepping up every chance she had in front of goal and keeping opposing defenders on their toes.
