Football at Paris Olympics: Here are the top 5 female superstars you will see in the Paris Olympics

Aitana Bonmati – Spain

Aitana Bonmati was the 2023 Ballon d’Or winner after a sensational season for club and country. The 26-year-old claimed her award alongside men’s winner Lionel Messi. Bonmati helped her side claim the 2023 World Cup in Australia with a 1-0 win against England.

The midfielder won the Golden Ball award in the World Cup as the tournament’s best player as she scored six goals in as many games, including netting in the final. She recently won the Champions League with Barcelona as they beat Lyon 2-0 in the final and Bonmati was on the scoresheet alongside Putellas.

Marta – Brazil

Marta is arguably the greatest female footballer in the history of the sport with six FIFA Player of the Year awards to her name. The 38-year-old is yet to win a major global trophy. She won silver at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics while finishing on the losing side in the 2007 World Cup final to Germany. Marta holds the record for the most goals (17) scored at either men’s or women’s World Cups. This will be Marta's last Olympics appearance and she would like to conclude with a beautiful gold medal.

Mary Fowler – Australia

She played a significant part in the squad that reached the bronze medal match at the 2020 Games and scored in the 4-3 quarterfinal win against Great Britain. Fowler will try to establish herself as one of the key members of the Matildas' squad in the Paris Olympics 2024.

Lindsey made her senior International debut in 2013 and since then, she has appeared in 150 games for the USA. She has scored 35 goals and will try to extend the tally in the upcoming Summer Olympics.
