Christine Sinclair was honored at the beginning of the FIFA The Best award ceremony and was presented The Best - FIFA Special Award for breaking the women’s international goal-scoring record.
“Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to experience many successes from winning trophies internationally and at club level and accepting individual awards,” said Sinclair. “What matters are all the moments that I have shared and the connections that I have made. Being the first female to win this award is an incredible honor. I hope it inspires young girls around the world to chase their dreams and lets them know that anything is possible.
