Coming into the tournament, the all-time leading scorer at the FIFA Women’s World Cup was Brazil’s Marta with 17 goals. She also holds the record for the most goal scored at any World Cup, men’s or women’s. The 37-year-old has the chance to increase her lead in Australia and New Zealand.xfriko
Christine Sinclair has scored the second-most goals at the Women’s World Cup among active players with 10. Sinclair, 40, has scored 190 goals for Canada in 322 caps, which is the all-time international record for men and women.

Tied for third on the active all-time scoring list are United States women’s national team stars Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe with nine goals each. If Rapinoe, Marta or Sinclair win the Golden Boot, they’ll be the oldest Golden Boot winners in men’s and women’s World Cup history. Rapinoe and Marta have both previously won the Golden Boot.
Other names to keep an eye on include Australia’s Sam Kerr, Norway’s Ada Hegerberg and the United States‘ Trinity Rodman. All three would be first-time winners of the award.
