Sam Kerr and Caitlin Foord have been teammates on both Sky Blue FC and the Perth Glory of Australia’s W-League but now they’re going up against each other.
Both were nominated for the 2015 award, which will be named this week. Both were members of Australia’s national team that advanced into the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup last summer.
Kerr joined Sky Blue after the Matilda’s were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. The forward scored six goals and had two assists in nine games to lead the Sky Blue in scoring.
