Lionesses Hemp, James and Bronze shortlisted for Women's Ballon d'Or

England trio Lauren Hemp, Lauren James and Lucy Bronze have been nominated for the Women’s Ballon d’Or.

Fellow Women’s Super League stars Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw, Mariona Caldentey, Sjoeke Nuske, Mayra Ramirez and Yui Hasegawa joined them on the 30-player shortlist announced by France Football, the organisers of the awards.

Bronze and Caldentey won the Champions League with Barcelona last season before securing moves to the WSL to play for Chelsea and Arsenal respectively.

Manchester City’s Shaw finished the season as the WSL’s top scorer, but her side narrowly missed out on the title to Chelsea.

James played a key role as Chelsea claimed their fifth consecutive WSL trophy in Emma Hayes’ final season before becoming head coach of USA Women (USWNT).

Hayes and Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman have been named on the five-strong shortlist for coach of the year, along with the new Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor.

Chelsea are one of five clubs shortlisted for women’s team of the year along with Champions League winners Barcelona.
