About the Ballon d'Or Féminin Award
The Ballon d'Or Féminin started in 2018. Ada Hegerberg from Norway was the very first player to win it. This was a big moment for women's football.
Some players have been nominated many times. For example, Australian striker Sam Kerr and French defender Wendie Renard were nominated almost every year. Sam Kerr often finished in the top 7 players, showing her amazing skill.
In 2022, Barcelona captain Alexia Putellas made history. She was the first player to win the award two times in a row. Her teammate, Aitana Bonmatí, then achieved something even more incredible. Aitana won the Ballon d'Or in 2023, 2024, and 2025. She is the first player to win it three times, and three times in a row!
Goalkeepers also get recognized. In 2023, Mary Earps reached the highest rank ever for a goalkeeper. She finished in fifth place, which is a fantastic achievement.
