A day after narrowly missing out on the Ballon d'Or, Matildas captain Sam Kerr has been named Asia's women's player of the year.
Australia was well represented at the continental awards, with Kerr's international teammate Mary Fowler in the running for women's youth player of the year, and Socceroos pair Graham Arnold (men's coach) and Mathew Leckie (men's player) making the top three in their respective categories.
