Lionesses make Ballon d'Or list but Messi misses out 2022 Prize

Ballon d'Or 2022: Full List of Men's & Women's Nominees shortlisted for the Best Play of the Year Award.






England Euro 2022 winners Millie Bright, Beth Mead and Lucy Bronze have been nominated for the women's Ballon d'Or, awarded to the best female footballer of 2022.



Lionel Messi, the seven-time men's winner, misses out as 15 Premier League players - including 12 from Liverpool and Manchester City - are nominated.



Mead was named Euro 2022's best player after winning the Golden Boot award given to the tournament's top scorer.





The Lionesses defeated Germany 2-1 after extra time in the final of Euro 2022 at Wembley to secure a first major trophy for a senior England team since the men won the 1966 World Cup.



Ballon d'Or 2021 was taken home by Lionel Messi who now has a record seven titles on his trophy shelf.

Last year's Women's Ballon d'Or, also known as Ballon d'Or Féminin, was won by Alexis Putellas.
