Anissa Lahmari

Anissa Lahmari's greatest accolade is the goal that changed African women's football history. Scoring in stoppage time against Colombia in 2023, she secured Morocco's place in the World Cup knockout stage for the first time. That single moment has made her a national icon and a symbol of what is possible for African teams on the global stage. FIFA's recognition of her as a "midfield magician" underscores the respect she commands in the sport.
