Five Lionesses nominated for Women's Ballon d'Or
Five of England's European Championship-winning squad have been nominated for this year's Women's Ballon d'Or. Captain Leah Williamson is joined by Lionesses team-mates Lucy Bronze, Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo and Hannah Hampton after they clinched back-to-back European titles with victory over Spain in Basel last month. Four English players have been nominated for the Men's Ballon d'Or, with Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Cole Palmer and Declan Rice all on the list. Nominated for the 2025 Ballon d'Or ⤵️ Scott McTominay @sscnapoli @ScotlandNT #ballondor — Ballon d'Or (@ballondor) August 7, 2025 Scotland's Scott McTominay is a nominee following his stellar season with Napoli, where he helped the team clinch the Serie A title in their final game of the season. Hampton is also nominated for the Yachine Trophy, given to the best women's goalkeeper. The 24-year-old Chelsea goalkeeper was a key cog in the Lionesses' Euros victory, where she made two brilliant saves in England's penalty shoot-out win against Spain in the final. Williamson, Russo and Kelly's nominations mean that seven Arsenal players make up the women's Ballon d'Or list after the Gunners finished second in the Women's Super League last season and won the Champions League. Aitana Bonmati scooped the women's award last year and is one of six Barcelona players listed, including Alexia Putellas. Bayern Munich striker Kane earns his spot on the Ballon d'Or list after scoring 26 Bundesliga goals, while Cole Palmer scored 15 Premier League goals for Chelsea last year and won the Conference League and Club World Cup. Premier League champions Liverpool have three players nominated in Alexis Mac Allister and Virgil van Dijk, along with the league's top scorer last season Mohamed Salah, who found the net 29 times. Nine Paris St Germain players are listed following their maiden Champions League victory in May, as well as last season's LaLiga top scorer Kylian Mbappe. The Lionesses have further nominations elsewhere, with forward Michelle Agyemang listed for the Women's Kopa Trophy. The 19-year-old Arsenal striker spent last season on loan at fellow WSL side Brighton, where she scored five goals in 22 appearances.

Myles Lewis-Skelly was also among the nominees for the men's Kopa Trophy after enjoying a breakout season with Arsenal and is joined by 18-year-old Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal, who is also a men's Ballon d'Or nominee. Liverpool boss Arne Slot and Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca have been nominated for the men's Johan Cruyff Trophy, along with PSG's Luis Enrique after he steered the side to their first Champions League trophy.
