Carli Lloyd keeps rolling along. The Houston Dash midfielder was named to the 10-player shortlist for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year on Monday morning.
The group, selected by FiFA’s Committee for Women’s Football and the FIFA Women’s World Cup and group of experts from France Football, will be whittled down to the final three finalists on November 30. The winner will be announced on January 11 at the FIFA Ballon d’Or Gala.
Lloyd won the Golden Ball and Silver Boot at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup as she guided the United States to their third title. Through 21 games played with the U.S. in 2015, Lloyd has scored 16 goals and tallied four assists.
In her first season with the Dash, Lloyd added four goals—three of them game-winners—en route to being named to the NWSL Second XI and Dash Newcomer of the Year. This is the second World Player of the Year shortlist for Lloyd, who was also up for the award in 2012.
Joining Lloyd on the list are U.S. teammates Hope Solo and Megan Rapinoe, 2014-15 UEFA Best Women’s Player in Europe winner Célia Šašić, French stars Amandine Henry and Eugenie Le Sommer, German goalkeeper Nadine Angerer, Swiss playmaker Ramona Bachmann, Japanese midfielder Aya Miyama, and Canadian teenager Kadeisha Buchanan. Only Angerer has previously won the award.
