The aim of this study was to identify and explain the morphological conditionality of specific soccer motor variables among first league soccer players. According to the aim of the research, a sample of 70 Croatian first league female soccer players was measured in 18 morphological tests, and 7 suitably selected soccer specific motor tests. A canonical correlation analysis was applied. Contrary to our expectations, the results indicate that the morphological status cannot be treated as a reliable predictor (p=0.11) of the actual players’ quality manifested trough precisely selected soccer-specific motor variables. Consequently, the selection of female soccer players cannot be carried out only through determining the morphological status of female soccer players, but exclusively through an analysis of their functional status and soccer-specific variables. Due to the selected representative sample, it is assumed that the results can be generalized to the population of elite female soccer players
