Many female nominees can’t attend due to international games‘It’s potentially a once in a lifetime opportunity,’ says Stanway
Georgia Stanway has expressed her frustration at the scheduling of Monday night’s Ballon d’Or awards ceremony in Paris, with many female players who were nominated unable to attend because of Nations League fixtures.
“Yeh it really is [frustrating] because it’s potentially a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Stanway, who is preparing for England’s game against Belgium in Leuven on Tuesday . “You never know if you’re ever going to get selected for such an accolade like that again, so it would be really nice to enjoy the experience and be there and feel like a star among the stars.
