Marta, widely considered one of the greatest players of all time, is still one of the NWSL's biggest stars at age 39.
The six-time world player of the year led the Pride to the 2024 NWSL championship and was named to the league's Best XI First Team. Marta tallied four goals in 2025, helping the Pride reach the NWSL semifinal.
Lawrence, 28, retired in 2024 after a five-year pro career. She now works for Young Money APAA, the agency co-founded by rap star Lil Wayne.
Marta, whose full name is Marta Vieira da Silva, shared a video of the ceremony on Instagram, saying: "Best day of our lives! The Lawrence Vieira's."
