The 11 goals nominated for the FIFA Marta Award, voted by the public for The Best awards, were announced. Among those selected, one by Kishi Núñez stands out in the U-20 World Cup.
The year-end awards are approaching and one of them is the Marta Award, from the FIFA The Best gala. This exclusive award for women's football recognizes the best goal of the established season of the awards ceremony and is named after the historic Marta Vieira Da Silva, figure of the Brazilian National Team and the Orlando Pride of the NWSL.
Like the Puskás Award, the election of the best goal in women's football is done with a vote through a FIFA application. The particular award for women began to be awarded last year and this is the first time that an Argentine appears among the eleven nominees who, in addition, was highlighted for scoring a goal with the National Team.
Kishi Núñez: Argentina-Costa Rica | September 8, 2024
One of the most important goals for national women's football was chosen for this important award. The same occurred in the match against Costa Rica for the U-20 World Cup, a match in which Argentina needed to win no matter what to qualify for the last game of group F. In that context, Boca's forward kicked more than 40 meters away from the goal and not only scored a great goal to score, but also hit the Albiceleste their first qualification to the round of 16 in the history of the World Cups played in the youth category.
