After a good season with Barcelona Femeni, Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala has been nominated for the 2023 Women’s Ballon d’Or.
The Super Falcons star is the only African on the 2022 Ballon D’Or list.
Barcelona and Spain star Bonmati who was instrumental to the Spanish women’s national team glory at the FIFA Women’s World Cup is highly tipped to win the prize her teammate, Alexia Putellas won last year.
With a phenomenal performance at the tournament, playing in every game and serving as a cornerstone of coach Jorge Vilda’s side, Bonmati is a strong contender to succeed Putellas.
Chelsea’s Sam Kerr is yet another likely winner having racked up 29 goals for Chelsea last season as they won a domestic double before featuring for the Matildas at the World Cup.
The Ballon d’Or ceremony will take place the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris on October 30.
