Five of England\u2019s European Championship-winning squad have been nominated for this year\u2019s women\u2019s Ballon d\u2019Or, including three Arsenal players who claimed a club and country double of European titles this summer.<\/p>\n

Leah Williamson, Alessia Russo and Chloe Kelly all shared Champions League<\/a> and Euros triumphs, and are joined on the nominees list by Lucy Bronze and Hannah Hampton, who both won domestic trebles with Chelsea and clinched back-to-back European titles with victory over Spain<\/a> in Basel last month.<\/p>\n

For the men\u2019s Ballon d\u2019Or, four English players have been nominated, with Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Cole Palmer and Declan Rice all on the list alongside Scotland\u2019s Scott McTominay, who has been recognised after his widely lauded contribution<\/a> to Napoli\u2019s Serie A triumph. The Arsenal and England full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly made the young players\u2019 list.<\/p>\n

Sarina Wiegman, the Lionesses\u2019 coach, has been nominated for the women\u2019s Johan Cruyff Trophy, for the best coach, alongside Arsenal\u2019s Ren\u00e9e Slegers and Chelsea\u2019s Sonia Bompastor. Nigeria\u2019s Justine Madugu and Brazil\u2019s Arthur Elias have also been nominated after their triumphs in their respective continental competitions.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old England striker, Michelle Agyemang, is nominated for the young player award \u2013 the Kopa Trophy. Her two late equalisers in the knockout stages of Euro 2025 were instrumental in England reaching the final. The Chelsea youngster Wieke Kaptein is also on that five-player list.<\/p>\n

Hampton, who saved two penalties in the Euro 2025 final, is also nominated for the Yashin Trophy for goalkeepers, along with Arsenal\u2019s Daphne van Domselaar.<\/p>\n

Seven Arsenal players are among the women\u2019s Ballon d\u2019Or prize list, after their Champions League final victory over Barcelona in Lisbon, with Spain\u2019s Mariona Caldentey, Australia\u2019s Steph Catley, the USA\u2019s Emily Fox and Norway\u2019s Frida Maanum joining Williamson, Russo and Kelly. Chelsea have two further representatives in Sandy Baltimore and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, while the Scotland and Real Madrid midfielder, Caroline Weir, has also made the list, alongside Brazil\u2019s Marta and last year\u2019s winner, Aitana Bonmat\u00ed of Spain.<\/p>\n

As expected, the men\u2019s Ballon d\u2019Or list also includes big-name nominees such as Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, Mohamed Salah and Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior, along with Manchester City\u2019s Erling Haaland and the new Arsenal signing Viktor Gy\u00f6keres. Arne Slot and Enzo Maresca are among five nominees for the men\u2019s coach prize.<\/p>\n

Chelsea and Liverpool have both been nominated for men\u2019s club of the year, while Arsenal and Chelsea are in the running for the women\u2019s club of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Five of England\u2019s European Championship-winning squad have been nominated for this year\u2019s women\u2019s Ballon d\u2019Or, including three Arsenal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[13,12,14],"class_list":{"0":"post-325698","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114988571938263857","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=325698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
