Marta is a Brazilian phenomenon. A six time FIFA World Player of the Year, record goal scorer who鈥檚 even the hero of her opponents.
She burst on to the global stage as a 17 year old at the 2003 World Cup and secured a breakthrough move to Sweden soon after, landing in snow at the airport. It was a world away from her home in Brazil. Yet in the five years in Sweden, Marta would arrive as a young talent and leave as the biggest global star the game has ever seen lighting up the 2007 World Cup; bamboozling the USA defence with her dribbling, speed and flair and one of the best goals on the grandest stage.
Now with a cabinet full of medals and trophies, she topped her final appearance in a competitive match for Brazil by winning silver at the Paris Olympics. A fitting finale for the player who goes by one name, Marta - who transformed the women鈥檚 game.
