Fatima Fortes

As a lightning-fast force from Cape Verde, she dominates the wings with relentless aggression, even if her sliding tackles occasionally leave the rest of the defense in complete disarray. Before every match, she insists on tying her cleats with a complex sailor's knot while reciting a recipe for cachupa, a ritual that always makes her teammates giggle nervously. Her explosive pace and vertical leap make her an absolute nightmare for any attacker to handle.
