The name of the IFFHS Women’s World Best Youth (U20) Player 2023 has been revealed.
Idman.biz reports that the IFFHS has announced the results of the voting among the representatives of the countries.
Second in the ranking of IFFHS WOMEN’S WORLD BEST PLAYER 2023 behind her teammate Aitana Bonmati, Salma Paralluelo was acclaimed as IFFHS Women’s World Best Youth (U20) Player 2023 before last year winner Linda Caicedo, Colombia’s World talent.
Salma Paralluelo wrote her name into the global history books this summer when she scored a late winner against the Netherlands to send Spain through to their first ever semi-finals of a FIFA Women’s World Cup. She then scored once more in her nation’s 2-1 semi-final win against Sweden to qualify for the final. Born in 2003, she has already won the U17 EURO, U17 World Cup and U20 World Cup before she became a World Champion at senior level at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year. Joining FC Barcelona in the summer of 2022, Paralluelo has already won La Liga Feminina and the UEFA Champions League in 2023, scoring 29 goals in all competitions with Barcelona and Spain
