Two Chinese female football sensations, Ma Xiaoxu and Han Duan, have been nominated for this year's FIFA Women Player of the Year award.

Both players play for elite Chinese club Dalian Shide.

Earlier this week, the Asian Football Confederation nominated Ma Xiaoxu as a candidate for the region's Women Player of the Year, as well as the Youth Player, an award usually bestowed upon male players.
