    Nominees for the Women’s Ballon d’Or 2023 have been announced, and with two-time defending champion Alexia Putellas sidelined due to injuries, a new recipient will be celebrated on October 30.

    The Women’s Ballon d’Or, though relatively new in the realm of world football, has rapidly become an aspiration for many of the globe’s finest players. Following a remarkable 12 months in women’s football, the shortlist for the 2023 award has been disclosed.

    The 2022-23 season was marked by Spanish football’s dominance, with Barcelona securing both their domestic title and the Champions League crown. Subsequently, La Roja triumphed in the World Cup, delivering an exhilarating tournament in Australia and New Zealand.

    Despite this, Alexia Putellas, a two-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, is no longer a contender after missing much of the season due to a knee injury; her club and international teammate, Aitana Bonmati, is the current favorite to succeed Putellas in winning the Golden Ball.

    Here are the players who have been shortlisted for football’s biggest individual honour until the event on Monday, October 30. We’ll have to wait to find out if Bonmati or someone else takes home the trophy.
