Melanie Garba

At 192 cm with explosive speed, this Beninese defender dominates the box with an intimidating presence and surgical blocks. She is as ruthless in the air as she is in the tackle, recalling that one time she flattened a training ground fence just by leaping to head away a rebellious pigeon. Despite her flawless technique, she still occasionally struggles to leash her intensity during the most high-stakes moments of the match.
