Colombian Linda Caicedo is a finalist for The Best award given by Fifa, along with Aitana Bonmati and Jennifer Hermoso.
In Fifa’s description of Linda’s achievements this season, they highlight that she made her debut with the Colombian Senior National Team in a World Cup of the category and also scored a goal.
Likewise, they mention that the goal he scored against Germany in the competition held in Australia and New Zealand was chosen as the Hyundai Goal of the Tournament.
In addition, the Colombian who reached the quarterfinals with the National Team in the Senior World Cup was a finalist in the Queen’s Cup with Real Madrid and the Spanish Women’s League.
Linda is competing for the trophy for best player of the year with two great rivals, the Spanish Aitana Bonmati and Jennifer Hermoso, world champions, who play in the leagues of Spain and Mexico.
Aitana has just been named Ballon d’Or, since in addition to her world title with Spain, she is a Spanish League champion with Barcelona.
The winner of The Best will be announced at the gala that will take place on January 15, 2024 in London, England.
Eldy Vanessa Alipio, manager of Deportivo Cali for women, who had her in the sugar team in 2021, was quite excited and proud of this designation.
“The truth is I’m not surprised to see Linda nominated for this important award, she will surely continue to be selected now that she is in European football. That she is next to Hermoso and Aitana is something that fills us with pride and a lot of positivity, because we can dream that the talent of our players continues to advance and go far.”
Vanessa also highlighted that Linda is spectacular and that her career will surely continue to be full of success and wonderful things.
On the other hand, Carolina Pineda, a player from América, founder of the Atlas club in Cali, and who brought Linda to Babyfútbol, stated that since she was with the Valle del Cauca girl in Marte, she believed that Linda was going to be the best in the world and so she is demonstrating.
This year the woman from Valle del Cauca has been nominated for different international recognitions given by entities such as Fifa, the IFFHS, the Globe Socer Awards, Golden Girl, The Best, Ballon d’Or, and one of her goals in the World Cup in New Zealand against Germany was nominated for best of the tournament.
Linda, 18 years old, was announced in February by Real Madrid, being the first Colombian to join the merengue team. In March she debuted with the Spanish team and was key in the season in which they finished in second place, ten points behind Barcelona, which was crowned champion.
