Young Matilda on the Podium at Asian Football Awards
Holly McNamara, a rising star of the Matildas, was named runner-up for Asian women's player of the year, with Japan's Hana Takahashi taking the top honor.
McNamara's achievement is remarkable, considering her history of three ACL injuries in six years. Despite this, the 22-year-old striker has excelled for Melbourne City in A-League Women, earning a call-up to the national team.
Her performance has shown great promise, and a bright future awaits if she can remain injury-free. Salem Al-Dawsari was also recognized as Asian men's player of the year at the gala ceremony in Riyadh.
