Someone made the winner of the 2018 Ballon d’Or name change from Ada Hegerberg to someone called Yunnotiee or something like that. Lionel Kane (talk) 06:53, 16 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Incomplete/Incorrect Information

Marta Vieira da Silva (Brazil) was the youngest winner who won in 2006 at age 20. After winning the award for five years in a row from 2006 until 2010, there was another eight years before she won it for a record sixth time in 2018. 192.59.192.4 (talk) 07:50, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

You're conflating the FIFA World Player of the Year Award (which Marta won in the years you stated) with the Ballon d'Or Féminin. The latter award has only been in existence since 2018.

European bias

edit

For most of the period from 2018 through the present, FIFA ranked the US as the best team, and most of the US players play in the NWSL, and yet only one US player has won the award, and only two NWSL players have finished in the top three. This article should provide some context: this is an award given by a European organization to the best player in Europe, unless a US player makes that untenable.
