Canada sweeps inaugural W Futsal Championship Awards | OneFootball

MIAMI – The inaugural edition of the 2025 Concacaf W Futsal Championship is in the history books as Canada became the first champion with an 8-2 win over Panama on Sunday at the Domo Polideportivo in Guatemala City, Guatemala.

The champions led the way with top performances throughout the tournament, including the following players who earned individual distinctions.

Best Player Award: Esther Brossard

Front and center in every game she took part in, Esther Brossard collected the Best Player Award of the first Concacaf W Futsal Championship.

She claimed the Top Scorer Award with eight goals in the tournament, sealing a hat-trick in the Final against Panama to guide her nation to the trophy. Scoring in all but one appearance in the 2025 edition, Brossard will be one of the players to watch when Canada takes to the Philippines later this year for the inaugural FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup.

Best Goalkeeper Award: Léa Palacio-Tellier

Canada goalkeeper Léa Palacio-Tellier is first captain to lift the W Futsal Championship trophy. Canada’s victory could not be possible without mentioning Palacio-Tellier as a key player throughout the entire tournament.

She stopped plenty of chances that allowed Canada to reach the Final and win the Championship. One of her most important moments was when she saved two penalties in the Semifinals against Mexico, securing the Futsal Women’s World Cup berth and a spot in the Final.

Top Scorer Award, presented by Aramco: Esther Brossard

With eight goals in five matches, Esther Brossard is the first winner of the tournament’s Top Scorer Award, presented by Aramco. Brossard opened the scoring for Canada in the nation’s first two games of the Group Stage and was clutch with five goals in the Knockout Stage.

Brossard struck twice in the semifinal against Mexico and converted her chance in the penalty shootout. She became the first player to score a hat-trick in a Final to lead her team to the trophy.

Fair Play Award: Canada

Canada was the team with fewer cards throughout six match days and became the first ever winners of the competition.
