Ballon d'Or Féminin
Annual association football award
The Ballon d'Or Féminin (French pronunciation: [balɔ̃ dɔʁ feminɛ̃]), also known as the Women's Ballon d'Or, is an association football award presented by France Football that honours the player deemed to have performed the best over the previous season. It was first awarded in 2018, with Ada Hegerberg[1] of Norway becoming the inaugural recipient of the award.[2] Australian striker Sam Kerr and French defender Wendie Renard are the only players to have been nominated for the award every year since its inception (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023). Sam Kerr is the only player to place in the top 20 nominations every year, and has consistently been in the top 7. In 2022, Barcelona captain Alexia Putellas became the first and only player to win the award twice and in consecutive years.[3][4][5]
