From six continents and 12 nations, FIFA welcomed 20 of the biggest names in the female game who will kick-off the football fiesta on FIFA’s 100th birthday.

DEFENDERS Hooper, Charmaine (CAN) For years Canada’s top striker, and now at 35 years of age, an indispensable defensive bastion, Charmaine Hooper is a true icon in the world of women’s football.

Détentrice des records de sélections et de buts de son pays, cette joueuse à l’étonnante polyvalence a beaucoup apporté à son pays, et sa forme actuelle tend à prouver qu’elle n’a pas l’intention de s’arrêter en si bon chemin.
