Alexia Putellas has won the Women’s Ballon d’Or 2026 following an outstanding season for Barcelona/London City Lionesses and the Spanish national team.
The Spanish footballer received the award during the Ballon d’Or ceremony in London, England, becoming the latest player to earn recognition as one of the world’s leading women’s football stars.
Alexia Putellas emerged ahead of a strong group of nominees who did well for themselves after an impressive campaign at club and international levels.
She played a key role in helping both her club and national teams for the duration of the calendar year which was used to judge her performance for the award.
Winning the Women’s Ballon d’Or is a significant milestone in her career. The award recognises individual excellence, consistency and contributions to team success throughout the season.
With the 2026 award secured, Alexia Putellas will look to maintain the same high standard in the coming season as she would be hoping to defend this award once again.
