They beat the United States in the quarterfinals, fell to Colombia in the semifinals, and beat Germany from the penalty spot in the third-place game.
The Stars of The Future
The women’s tournament in India in 2022 was the most recent platform for up-and-coming players to shine. Vicky Lopez of Spain was named the tournament’s adidas Golden Ball winner for her outstanding performance.
Linda Caicedo of Colombia, who represented her country in both the 2019 World Cup and the Costa Rica 2022 World Cup, won the adidas Silver Ball. Since she already has a senior team cap, she has a good shot at representing Colombia at the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia/New Zealand 2023TM.
Mara Alber, who plays for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, was outstanding for Germany, who came back from a 3-0 deficit to tie for fourth place. Momoko Tanikawa, a Japanese player, was also a tournament standout at India 2022.
