Aitana Bonmati Makes History with Third Consecutive Ballon d’Or Nomination
Spain's Aitana Bonmati made history by securing her third consecutive Women’s Ballon d’Or nomination, becoming the first woman to achieve this feat at the age of 27. The Barcelona midfielder's victory in 2025 follows her wins in 2023 and 2024, setting a new standard in women's football recognition.
Arsenal's Mariona Caldentey finished second in the voting, with five English internationals also ranking high. Bonmati's dominance reflects Barcelona's excellence, with teammate Alexia Putellas previously winning the award in 2021 and 2022.
This recognition highlights the growing strength of the Women's Super League and England's national program on the global stage.
