Before she ever kicked a ball, Aurore was an artistic roller skating champion, winning seven French titles and three European titles with the USF Roller Skating Club.

Her father was the imam of their neighbourhood. She began playing on a field right in front of the mosque, often surrounded by boys, something her father initially found embarrassing.

She got a distinctive “Harry Potter-style” forehead scar after falling off monkey bars and broke her arm three times as a child. She has described herself as “clumsy”.

After speaking up in 2019, she helped win up to six months of paid mental health leave for NWSL players, a first in US professional sport.

At just 14, she got her first tattoo, a flaming tribal football design on her back, after scoring 14 goals at nationals and winning a bet with her mum. She later had it covered up and is relieved no photos of it exist.

In 2024, she broke the NWSL single-season clean-sheet record with her 12th shutout, finishing the season with 13 clean sheets.

In September 2024, Ali scored San Diego Wave's fastest-ever goal, finding the net just 27 seconds into a match against Utah Royals.

At 17, she became the youngest Dutch player to debut at a FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023.

In 2022, at just 15, she became the youngest player to appear in UEFA Women's Champions League.

As captain, she helped Poland qualify for their first Women's Euro in 2025, scoring four goals and adding three assists in the play-offs.

She competed in team gymnastics at a very high level.

Aggie is really into geography and can name all the capitals.

She started judo at the age of six and took part in several national competitions for her school. In 2013 and 2014, she became national champion in her age group; most recently, she was a blue belt.

Crystal is widely known as one of the best dancers on the U.S. team.

She’s a drummer. As a child, after only a month of lessons, she earned a scholarship to a drum school in New York.

During her time at Guingamp, she followed the exact same pre-match routine for years, including sitting in the same locker room seat before kickoff.

Before matches, she performs a ritual of thanking her ancestors and her family.

Her pre-match ritual is to step onto the pitch with her right foot first.

Her small pre-match ritual is to always put on her right shoe and right glove first.

Before matches, her mother cooks her avocado and eggs, plus a glass of apple juice, a ritual she keeps before every game.

She co-launched a one-step wellness journal project called Oakmind with her husband Emil, aimed at helping people manage everyday stress.

Laura and her sister Denise launched their own fashion brand LRI 10 23.

She founded HoodSpace in 2020, a non-profit focusing on mental health and wellness for girls of colour through meditation, yoga and sport.

Together with her wife Amy James-Turner, she launched a coffee business from a vintage van, joking that she mainly handles front-of-house duties while Amy runs the social media.

She loves dancing and fashion. She studied fashion management and founded her own fashion brand, ETONAM.
