Japan's Hinata Miyazawa, the striker for the 2023 Women's World Cup, became the winner of the "Golden Boot" with 5 goals. She scored a brace against Zambia and Spain in the group stage, and then scored one goal against Norway in the Round of 16.
Spanish women's national team midfielder Aitana Bonmati received the Golden Ball award for the best player at the 2023 Women's World Cup. The Barcelona star was the orchestrator of Spain's championship victory, contributing 3 goals and 2 assists.
The Silver Ball award at the 2023 Women's World Cup went to Aitana Bonmati's teammate, forward Jennifer Hermoso. Defender Amanda Ilestedt received the Bronze Ball award after helping the Swedish women's team finish third.

Hinata Miyazawa was the first to win this individual award, even though her team only reached the quarterfinals. In previous Women's World Cups, the players who won the "Golden Boot" were all with their teams that reached the final or played in the third-place match.
Goalkeeper Mary Earps received the "Golden Glove" award at the 2023 World Cup for the best goalkeeper. Although the England women's team lost 0-1 to Spain, Mary Earps left her mark in the final match by successfully saving Jennifer Hermoso's penalty.
Spain's star player, Salma Paralluelo, has been honored by FIFA as the "Best Young Player". The 19-year-old forward scored two crucial goals that helped Spain eliminate the Netherlands in the quarter-finals and Sweden in the semi-finals.
