Women's World Cup 2023: Spain defeat England to win the 2023 Women's World Cup final
England's Rachel Daly, Alex Greenwood, Lauren James and Keira Walsh are among the nominees for the women's player of the year at the 2023 Fifa Best Awards.
Sarina Wiegman, who guided the Lionesses to the Women's World Cup final, is shortlisted for coach of the year along with Chelsea's Emma Hayes.
Spain World Cup winners Aitana Bonmati, Jenni Hermoso and Salma Paralluelo are also nominated.
England's Mary Earps is among the nominees for best goalkeeper.
Spain's Alexia Putellas, who has won the women's player of the year for the past two editions, is not nominated.
Jorge Vilda, boss of Spain's triumphant World Cup winning side, has not been nominated for coach of the year.
Vilda has since been sacked amid the ongoing Luis Rubiales scandal.
On Sunday, Rubiales resigned as president of the Spanish football federation following criticism for kissing Hermoso at the World Cup final presentation ceremony.
The nominees for the women's awards were shortlisted by a panel of football experts that included retired two-time United States World Cup winner Mia Hamm.
Voting for the eighth annual awards opened on Thursday on Fifa.com and closes in mid-October.
National team coaches, captains, journalists and fans make up the list of voters.
