A performer dances during the opening ceremony of what would be the first FIFA Women’s World Cup, in Guangzhou, China, Nov. 16, 1991.Despite how well the 1988 games went, doubts about the commercial success of a women’s “World Cup” still loomed, and FIFA initially named the tournament the “World Championship for Women’s Football for the M&M’s Cup,” incorporating branding from the candy manufacturer and the tournament’s sole corporate sponsor Mars.
Still, the most goals scored in World Cup history did not come from a U.S. athlete—or a man. It was instead a female athlete from Brazil: Marta Vieira da Silva—a striker better known mononymously as Marta—has scored 17 goals across five World Cup tournaments between 2007 and 2019. Marta, who is 37, will be taking part in her sixth World Cup this summer, hoping to add to her record and help the Brazil women’s team win their first World Cup.
