Celia Segura Segura is no stranger to knockout football, having helped Spain to silver at the Under-17 World Cup two years ago and finishing with the Bronze Ball and Bronze Boot. A product of the Barcelona academy, the 19-year-old forward made her debut for the senior side in February and will return to Atlético Madrid for a season-long loan at the conclusion of this tournament.

Annika Paz Paz has taken this tournament by storm with performances that have shown a maturity beyond her 17 years. Paz netted four goals against Benin here in Poland before also scoring the opener in Argentina’s 3-2 win over Mexico to send them through.

Rachel Maltby After a breakthrough campaign with Aston Villa last season and now a second youth World Cup with England, it has been a memorable year for Maltby. With her four goals and an assist, the 19-year-old has played a role here in England’s progress to the last 16, as she did at the under-17 edition of the tournament back in 2024, the 19-year-old has caught the eye with her assured, attacking performances down England’s left.

Earning her name as a prolific goalscorer – she broke the record for most goals scored for Canada’s youth teams with 28 in 34 appearances – she received her first senior debut in June and has her focus set on being part of Casey Stoney’s side at next summer’s World Cup in Brazil.
