But the path to the pomp and pageantry of the Women's World Cup hasn't been an easy one. Here are the 10 leading women who hoisted the sport on their shoulders and set an example for generations to follow.
Nadine Angerer (Germany)
Nadine Angerer makes a save during a Germany training session at Carl-Benz-Stadion in Mannheim, Germany on April 9, 2014.
A backup for the national team that won a slew of titles in the early 2000s, goalkeeper Nadine Angerer proved her starting worth by shutting out the opposition over a record 540 minutes during Germany's World Cup-winning run in 2007. Six years later, she nearly matched that feat by allowing just one goal at the 2013 European championships, saving two penalty kicks in the final to seal Germany's win over Norway. The first goalkeeper to win the FIFA Player of the Year Award, Angerer remained an elite player to the very end, earning a place on the World Cup all-star team following her final tournament appearance in 2015.
