The date of the Ballon d\u2019Or ceremony posed a challenge for the U.S. women\u2019s team, as they were playing matches in the United States this week and therefore couldn\u2019t attend the event in Paris. The organizers have committed to considering this factor in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Madrid wasn’t the only notable absence at the Ballon d\u2019Or<\/a> ceremony. Players from the U.S. national women\u2019s team were also missing, but for a valid reason: they are currently involved in a series of friendly matches across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the U.S. coach, holding the ceremony during an international window for women\u2019s football is problematic. \u201cIt would be like hosting the Oscars or the Golden Globes without any women present,\u201d lamented England\u2019s Emma Hayes. \u201cIt simply wouldn\u2019t happen. Yet, this issue is all too often addressed only after the fact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The date of the Ballon d\u2019Or ceremony may soon be changed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to a poorly adjusted schedule, the coach was unable to accept her award for Coach of the Year in person. Additionally, her players\u2014four of whom ranked in the Ballon d\u2019Or\u2019s Top 10 after winning gold at the Olympics this summer\u2014were also unable to attend the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor these players and coaches, it\u2019s the only chance in this field to receive such recognition, so it\u2019s disappointing,\u201d said Emma Hayes. \u201cI discussed this with the organizers, who assured me that things would change in the future. Let\u2019s hope that\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
