América Women nominated for the world’s best team | OneFootball

Today, all of the nominees to win the Ballon d’Or were announced, and among its various categories is also the best women’s team in the world.

Club América Femenil has been nominated to win this award, becoming the first team from Mexico to achieve this and competing against five European teams to try to take home this honor.

América Femenil is competing with Barcelona (Spain), OL Lyonnes (France), Manchester City (England), and Bayern Munich (Germany) for the recognition of the best club in the world.

The winners of this award will be announced on October 26 of this year.

Why were they nominated?

América has had a spectacular 2026, winning practically every trophy they have competed for, but without a doubt the most important was the Concacaf W Champions Cup, a trophy they claimed by defeating two clubs from one of the best leagues in the world.

América defeated Gotham FC in the semifinals and Washington Spirit in the final, highlighting that the NWSL is considered one of the top leagues in the world, which is why Las Águilas made it into this award category.

But of course, it also helped that they won the Liga Femenil BBVA and the Campeón de Campeonas, making them the absolute champions of Mexico.

Who has won this award?

This award began to be given out in 2023, and so far it has been won by Barcelona twice (2023, 2024) and Arsenal (2025).
