The FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 finally came to an end as Spain lifted their maiden Women's major title after Defeating England by 1-0 at the Sydney Olympic Stadium. Alongside the battle for the title, there were also some key individual battles going on, and one of those was for the Golden Boot. The biggest stars in women's football fought for their respective teams to help them win the most precious competition of Football.
The Golden Boot is an honorable and competitive prize. The recent tournaments have seen the award won by a low-key final goal tally. The past three Golden Boots have been secured with a maximum of six goals scored but this time it settled down to five. Japan's Hinata Miyazawa won the 2023 Golden Boot. Michelle Akers is still holding her record of winning the Golden Boot in the FIFA Women's World Cup with more than 7 goals.
