The Golden Boot is awarded to the player who scores most goals in the tournament. Ties are settled by assists, then by minutes per goal
The Golden Boot is awarded to the player who scores the most goals in the tournament. If there are multiple players with the same number of goals, the tie is broken by assists, and if those too are equal, by the lowest minutes played. Own goals do not count, and nor do penalties scored in penalty shootouts, but penalties in normal or extra time do.
Australia’s Sam Kerr is one of the favourites to win this year’s award, with the USA pair Sophia Smith and Alex Morgan also expected to feature high up. Other contenders are England’s Rachel Daly, Denmark’s Pernille Harder, Norway’s Ada Hegerberg, Germany’s Alexandra Popp and France’s Kadidiatou Diani.
