Spain's Salma Paralluelo and Aitana Bonmati, England's Mary Earps and Japan's Miyazawa Hinata were the outstanding players recognised with big individual awards at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Paralluelo and Bonmati picked up Young Player of the Tournament and Golden Ball, respectively, before lifting the Women's World Cup trophy for the first time in Spain's history following their 1-0 win over England on Sunday (20 August) in Sydney.
Despite Japan's exit in the quarter-finals, Miyazawa picked up the Golden Boot award with a total of five goals. She was closely followed by Sweden's Amanda Ilestedt and France's Kadidiatou Diani.
England's Earps was awarded the Golden Glove following her incredible campaign, including key saves in the final against Spain.
Golden Boot: Miyazawa Hinata
Miyazawa took the Golden Boot award after scoring five goals and managing one assist throughout the tournament.
The Japanese player found the back of the net four times in the group stages: twice in their 5-0 win over Zambia and twice again in Japan's 4-0 thrashing of now world champions Spain.
She then scored in Japan's 3-1 win over Norway in the Round of 16, but failed to find the back of the net in their quarter-final loss against Sweden.
The last time a Japanese player won the Golden Boot award was at the 2011 Women's World Cup when Sawa Homare managed five goals.
England's Mary Earps only conceded four goals throughout the 2023 tournament.
Golden Glove: Mary Earps
Earps received the Golden Glove after proving her worth yet again as football's best goalkeeper, keeping England in the competition on several occasions with some sublime saves.
Although Spain's Olga Carmona got past Earps in the final match, the English player kept her cool to deny Jennifer Hermoso from the spot in the second half.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper kept three clean sheets throughout the tournament and only conceded four goals overall, never letting in more than one goal a game.
Aitana Bonmati received the Golden Ball Award following Spain's 1-0 final win over England in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup final.
Golden Ball: Aitana Bonmati
The Golden Ball is awarded to the tournament's best player and, at this edition, Spain's newly crowned world champion Aitana Bonmati was presented with the prize.
Bonmati managed three goals and two assists throughout the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup and was a hugely influential figure in her nation's winning campaign.
Having started all of Spain's seven fixtures at the tournament, the Barcelona midfielder dictated Spain's possessive-heavy strategy and helped to secure *La Roja'*s first ever World Cup trophy.
Spain's Jennifer Hermoso was awarded the Silver Ball, with Sweden's Amanda Illestedt picking up Bronze.
Young Player: Salma Paralluelo
Salma Paralluelo captured the world's attention this tournament and was rewarded for doing so.
The 19-year-old picked up the Young Player of the Tournament award after her incredible debut campaign with Spain. This included a 111th minute winner against the Netherlands to take Spain through to the semi-finals.
The winger also scored Spain's opener in their semi-final win against Sweden and had some close chances against England in the final.
