Five England players nominated for women's Ballon d'Or
Five of England's Euro 2025-winning squad were nominated for the women's Ballon d'Or award on Thursday.
Captain Leah Williamson, Lucy Bronze, Alessia Russo, Chloe Kelly and Hannah Hampton all made the 30-player list after England successfully defended their title in Switzerland.

Midfielder Bonmati, 27, won the Spanish league title with Barcelona and was named the Best Player of the Tournament at the Women's Euro 2025.
Bonmati won the last two Ballon d'Ors.
Barcelona captain Putellas, a winner in 2021 and 2022, has also been shortlisted.
Arsenal, the English Women's Super League runners-up, are the club with the most nominees, with seven in total.
The evergreen Brazilian Marta, 39, has been nominated after her latest Copa America title. The Orlando Pride forward is the oldest nominee.
