FIFA Marta Award: Man City duo Khadija Shaw, Vivianne Miedema nominated

Manchester City duo Khadija Shaw and Vivianne Miedema have been nominated for the FIFA Marta Award.

Shaw, who has started the season with five Women's Super League goals, is recognised for her thumping strike against Hammarby last term while Miedema is nominated after a skillful finish for the Netherlands against Wales at Euro 2025 in the summer.

They aren't the only WSL representatives however with Arsenal's Mariona Caldentey listed for a stunner against OL Lyonnes, a strike that won the Women's Champions League goal of the tournament as Arsenal went on to lift the trophy, with her teammate Kyra Cooney-Cross also nominated for a strike against Germany for her national side Australia.

And Marta herself has once again been nominated for the award that carries her name for a goal against Kansas City Current in the NWSL, a year after she won the inaugural award for a solo goal for Brazil.

Ashley Cheatley of Brentford, Jordyn Bugg for Seattle Reign and Ally Sentnor for the USWNT also find themselves nominated.
