The world's most expensive female player revealed

Mexico star Lizbeth Ovalle becomes the most expensive female player of all time after completing her move from Tigres to Orlando Pride.

Orlando Pride's willingness to spend a fortune on Lizbeth Ovalle reflects a new trend in women's soccer.

The world of women's football witnessed a historic milestone when Lizbeth Ovalle signed for American club Orlando Pride. According to The Guardian , Ovalle broke the all-time transfer record for women's football when she was sold by Mexican club Tigres to Orlando Pride for a fee of $1.5m (around £1.1m).

The previous women's football transfer record was set by Arsenal when they bought Olivia Smith from Liverpool for $1.2 million in 2024. The deal also marks the second time in two consecutive years that Orlando Pride have completed one of the most expensive deals in women's football history.

In 2024, the US soccer representative also signed Barbra Banda from Shanghai Shengli for $ 740,000 . With these two contracts, Orlando Pride became the only women's club in the world to own two of the six most valuable transfers of all time.

Lizbeth Ovalle, nicknamed “La Maga” (The Magician), is considered the best female Mexican player at the moment. In March, she also caused a stir with a goal of her life in the 2-0 victory of Tigres women's team in the Mexican National Championship.

From a cross from her teammate, the Mexican female player performed a flying backheel (scorpion-style) in a very difficult position, sending the ball flying straight into the net. It is worth mentioning that the trajectory of the ball was not easy after the pass from her teammate, but Ovalle, with her back to the opponent's goal, still jumped up and volleyed the ball into the goal.

The Guardian even called this possibly the most beautiful goal in the history of women's football, and competes equally with other great goals ever scored in world football (including men's). BeIN Sport did not hesitate to call this likely to be the most beautiful goal of 2025, and is the number one candidate for FIFA's Puskas award this year.

The best goal of 2025 revealed Lizbeth Ovalle scored a scorpion kick in the 2-0 win of Tigres women's team in the Mexican National Championship on March 4.
