Naomi Girma Biography
Naomi Girma is recognized as a leading defender in women's soccer, progressing from a notable collegiate career to international prominence. At Stanford University, Girma captained the Cardinal to an NCAA national championship and received individual honors, including Pac-12 Defender of the Year and First-Team All-American. She participated in the Mayfield Fellows Program for Entrepreneurship at Stanford and earned a Bachelor of Arts in symbolic systems while pursuing a master's degree in management science and engineering. Girma is the first player of Ethiopian descent to represent the U.S. Women's National Team.
Girma's transition to professional soccer began when she was selected first overall by San Diego Wave FC in the National Women's Soccer League Draft. She earned both NWSL Rookie of the Year and Defender of the Year honors in her debut season, becoming the first player to win both awards in a single year. Girma was named NWSL Defender of the Year again after contributing to San Diego Wave's NWSL Shield as the top regular season team. Her career has included overcoming injuries, including withdrawing from her first senior national team call-up and recovering from a significant knee injury.
Girma became the first pure defender to be named U.S. Soccer's Female Player of the Year. She started all four matches for the U.S. Women's National Team at the FIFA Women's World Cup, leading a defense that allowed only one goal. Girma played every minute of the six-game Olympic tournament, including the gold-medal match, where the United States defeated Brazil 1-0.
Girma signed with Chelsea for a record transfer fee in women's soccer and has contributed to the club reaching the UEFA Women's Champions League semifinals and the FA Cup final. She scored a decisive game-winning goal in the FA Cup fifth round against Manchester United, advancing Chelsea to the quarterfinals. Girma's career reflects the evolving standards of professional women's soccer, combining athletic performance, leadership, and academic achievement.
