Ada Hegerberg, Amandine Henry and Dzsenifer Marozsán are the three final nominees for the 2015/16 UEFA Best Women’s Player in Europe Award, with the final vote set to take place on August 25.
Having made the ten-strong shortlist, the players gained their award nominations in a poll of 20 ESM-selected journalists who are committed to supporting women’s football. The same jury will then cast their votes again from the three nominees during the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League group stage draw in Monaco on Thursday, August 25.
Norway forward Ada Hegerberg and France midfielder Amandine Henry both helped Olympique Lyon win last season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League. While Henry has now left for Portland Thorns, Germany playmaker Marozsán has gone to Lyon following her departure from 1.FFC Frankfurt.
Interestingly all three previous winners were from Germany and have now retired: Nadine Angerer (2013), Nadine Kessler (2014), and Célia Šašić (2015).
