The fourth recipient of the Women’s Ballon d’Or is due to be announced on Monday evening at a ceremony held in Paris. The women's award was introduced in 2018, with previous winners including Ada Hegerberg, Megan Rapinoe, and Alexia Putellas. This year's list of nominees is particularly strong, with experts giving their predictions on potential winners.
The fourth recipient of the Women’s Ballon d’Or is due to be announced on Monday evening at a ceremony held at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris. Despite the men’s award being handed out every year since 1956, the women’s version was only introduced in 2018. The first female winner was Norway international Ada Hegerberg, followed the year after by the U.
Take Rapinoe’s 2019 win: she secured more than twice as many points as second-placed Lucy Bronze, after a huge World Cup, even though she made only five club appearances that year. Barcelona’s Champions League-winning 19-year-old Salma Paralluelo is therefore an interesting case. She lacks the profile of names like Kerr and Millie Bright, even after a solid club season.
