Maltese striker wins best player award in Italy

Malta’s striker, super star Haley Bugeja, has been named as the best player in Italian Serie A Femminile!

Haley plays for Italian football club U.S. Sassuolo Calcio, and was named best player by L football, an Italy-based publication that primarily focuses on women’s football. This is just the latest for the 17-year-old player as earlier this month, she was chosen to be part of the IFFHS Women’s U-20’s Best XI for the second consecutive year!

The player joined a list of promising talents in the 3-3-4 formation, which was published by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).

It doesn’t stop there. She was also named among the four forwards alongside Netherlands’ Nikita Tromp from Ajax, Alison Gonzales, who is currently involved in the Mexican women’s league playoffs with Atlas and Trinity Rodman, the daughter of the former Chicago Bulls star Denis Rodman, who won the American women’s title with the Washington Spirit and was named Rookie of the Year.

After a five-month absence due to an injury, Haley sprung back into action for Sassuolo in October and has already scored a goal in her four league games, in the 1-0 victory over Napoli.

She was also a part of the Malta women’s national team in the recent Women’s World Cup commitments, against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro!
