• Catarina Macario和Naomi Girma，从顶尖大学(斯坦福)到国家队(美国)再到足球豪门(切尔西)，一直都是队友。其中，Naomi Girma在24-25赛季冬窗从圣地亚哥波浪加盟切尔西，她的转会也创造了新的女子足球转会费记录。

  • 以下为切尔西官网对Naomi Girma的介绍：

    ​ The defender is renowned for her composure on the ball and ability to read the game coupled with her pace and athleticism.

    ​ She arrived at Chelsea aged 24 with a glittering CV and 44 USA caps at that stage. The defender has experienced domestic and international success.

    ​ The summer of 2024 was one to remember for Girma as she played every minute at the 2024 Olympics as the USA, led by former Blues manager Emma Hayes, won gold.

    ​ That success came after she was named the US Soccer’s Female Player of the Year in 2023, during which she was a standout performer for her country at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

    ​ Girma began her senior career at Stamford University where she played alongside Chelsea forward Catarina Macario. In 2019, Girma captained the college side to the Women’s College Cup.

    ​ In 2022, she was the first pick of the NWSL draft when selected by newly-formed club San Diego Wave. She backed that up by being named Rookie of the Year in her first season and by winning the NWSL Defender of the Year award.

    ​ The accolades, both individually and collectively, kept coming during Girma’s second campaign as she played a vital part in her club’s NWSL Shield triumph and she was once again named NWSL Defender of the Year for 2023.

    ​ Girma was nominated for The Best FIFA Women’s Player award in 2024 and was named in The Best FIFA Women’s XI.
