‘Bunny’ Shaw finishes historic third in Ballon d’Or race

Jamaica's Khadija "Bunny" Shaw finished a historic third in the women's Ballon d'Or race. It is the highest a Jamaican has ever placed in the race for the coveted title which signals football excellence. The award was won by Spain's Alexia Putellas following a stellar season leading Barcelona to four trophies. Putellas, who has since moved to London City Lionesses, claimed the award for the third time after successes in 2021 and 2022. Putellas' FC Barcelona teammate Ewa Pajor finished second in the voting.
