Sam Kerr, Forward for Chelsea and the Australia women's national team, has been named the best female football player in the world. EA Sports, in their FIFA 23 video game, ranked her number one in the top 100 Player Ratings for the upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023. Kerr's rating surpasses that of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, solidifying her status as a top player in the game.
Kerr's impressive performances in the FA Women's Super League, where she scored 12 goals, and her leadership as captain of the Australia women's national team have earned her this recognition. In the EA Sports game, her ball skills, heading ability, finishing skills, and agility are rated highly, with an overall rating of 91, the same as Alexia Putellas, a Ballon d’Or winner.
Joining Kerr in the top 100 are three other Australian players: Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord from Arsenal, and Ellie Carpenter from French club Lyon, each with a rating of 83. Kerr's ranking puts her on par with global football stars like Kylian Mbappe, Kevin De Bruyne, and Lionel Messi, showcasing her talent and impact on the field.
Kerr's recent accomplishments include winning her fourth WSL title with Chelsea, scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup, and becoming the first woman to be named the Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year for the second time. This prestigious honor adds to her remarkable achievements, as no woman has previously won the award in consecutive years, a feat achieved only by Christiano Ronaldo and Thierry Henry in the award's history.
Sam Kerr's consistent excellence and contributions to the sport have rightfully earned her the title of the best female football player in the world, and fans eagerly anticipate her performances in the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup.
