Megan Rapinoe leads the list of nominees for this year's The Best FIFA Women's Player award, following an eventful summer on and off the pitch that ended with her becoming a two-time Women's World Cup winner.
The United States forward grabbed headlines for her feud with Donald Trump, as well as with digs at FIFA's scheduling and U.S. Soccer as part of the team's equal pay dispute, but she also collected the tournament's Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards as well as a winners' medal.
Three of her national team-mates join her on the shortlist, with midfielders Julie Ertz and Rose Lavelle - who won the Bronze Ball - and forward Alex Morgan, who collected the Silver Boot, also nominated.
