South African Thembi Kgatlana, victorious in 2018, and her compatriot Jermaine Seophanwe is among the favorites. The Malawite duo formed by Tabitha and Temwa Chawinga, playing respectively in Lyon and Kansas City, also attracts attention.

Sixteenth at the 2024 female Ballon, Tabitha Chawinga is measured by the Zambian Barbra Banda, classified as 12th, as well as in Racheal Kundananji. The Moroccan Sanaâ Mssoudy, a rising star of AS Far, completes a list rich in talents, just like the Burundian Sandrine Niyonkuru.

With talents from D1 Arkema like Chiamaka Nnadozie (Paris FC) and Rasheedat Ajibade (Atlético Madrid) in the running, this edition promises an unprecedented suspense. For the first time in three years, a new player will write her name on the charts.
