It’s indeed a special and inclusive aspect of the Puskas Prize that both men and women can be nominated for the same award, celebrating the beauty of goals across all levels of football. The inclusion of Olivia Jimenez, a Mexican player, among the nominees for the 2012 Puskas Prize is a recognition of her remarkable goal-scoring skills.
Jimenez’s contribution, a goal that FIFA describes as a “bomb on the Swiss goal,” took place during the Women’s Under-20 World Cup in Japan in 2012. Such moments not only showcase the talent and excellence of female footballers but also contribute to breaking gender barriers and promoting equality in recognizing outstanding achievements in the sport.
Fans have the opportunity to appreciate and celebrate goals from various perspectives and levels of the game, making the Puskas Prize a truly special and inclusive recognition within the world of football. The nomination of Olivia Jimenez reflects the diverse and talented nature of the sport across both genders.
