Foluke Kalunga

Physically dominant and tactically imposing, this Congolese center-back shuts down opponents with terrifying ease, even if her game is sometimes marred by reckless imprudence. To stay locked in, she demands that her teammates braid her hair in absolute silence before every kickoff, a bizarre superstition that leaves them baffled yet deeply impressed by her raw ferocity. Her elite athleticism makes her an utterly impassable wall on the pitch.
