Ballon d’Or 2023: England stars Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham on shortlist | Four Lionesses nominated | Football News networthplaza.com
England stars Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham have been included on the shortlist for the 2023 men’s Ballon d’Or award, while Lionesses Mary Earps, Millie Bright, Rachel Daly and Georgia Stanway have been nominated for the women’s award.
Saka was named as England men’s player of the year on Tuesday, and his fine form for Arsenal and the Three Lions last season has seen him named on the 30-man shortlist. He is joined by England team-mate Jude Bellingham, who sealed a move from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid in the summer, after a stellar season for club and country.
Daly’s record-breaking season in the WSL has been recognised. Her 22 goals for Aston Villa set a new WSL record which sees her nominated for the women’s Ballon d’Or alongside England team-mates Earps, Bright and Stanway, who all played key roles in the Lionesses run to the World Cup final last month.
The winners will be announced when the Ballon d’Or 2023 ceremony takes place at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris on October 30.
