The 2024 Women’s Ballon d’Or features a highly competitive field, with Ewa Pajor, Khadija Shaw, Alessia Russo, and Melchie Dumornay leading the charge. Pajor’s Champions League heroics and Shaw’s prolific goal-scoring make them strong favorites, while Dumornay’s technical brilliance and Putellas’ comeback add depth to the race. The winner will be revealed on October 28 in Paris.
For the first time since 2023, the Women’s Ballon d’Or could have a new winner with Ewa Pajor, Khadija Shaw, Alessia Russo and Melchie Dumornay among the contenders.
The race to be named the world’s best female player is the most open in years. Among the frontrunners is Ewa Pajor, who overcame her reputation as a runner-up by scoring two goals in Barcelona’s Champions League final victory. Khadija Shaw, with her third consecutive WSL golden boot, and Melchie Dumornay, whose impressive play earned her the French player of the year award, are also strong candidates.
Other notable contenders include Alexia Putellas, who returned to form after injury, and Temwa Chawinga, who dominated the NWSL. The diverse and competitive field promises an exciting announcement for the 2024 award.
