FIFA Women Player of The Year Winners – All Time List

Since 2004, the voting process is based on a shortlist of 35 produced by FIFA, from which team captains and representatives from FIFPro could vote in addition to the national team managers. From 2010 to 2015, the FIFA player of the year award was merged with the Ballon d’Or. As you can see this award has been dominated by just a few players.

The votes are decided by media representatives, national team coaches, and national team captains. In October 2016, it was announced that the general public would also be allowed to vote. Each group has 25% of the overall vote.

In 2018, we were been given the news of introducing the Ballon d’Or to women’s football, is that not great news? We definitely think it is!
