A FIRST FOR TÜRKİYE
Müjde Elmas to Represent Türkiye on the Ballon d’Or Féminin Jury
FourFourTwo Türkiye Brand Manager Müjde Elmas has been selected as a member of the Ballon d’Or Féminin jury.
In the voting process, which will see Türkiye represented on the Ballon d’Or Féminin jury for the first time, Elmas will cast Türkiye’s vote to help determine the world’s best female footballer.
Istanbul, 10 September 2026 – FourFourTwo Türkiye Brand Manager Müjde Elmas has been selected as one of the jury members for the Ballon d’Or Féminin, one of the most prestigious individual awards in women’s football.
This selection also marks an important first for Türkiye. Türkiye will be represented on the Ballon d’Or Féminin jury for the first time, with Müjde Elmas becoming the first person to undertake this role.
Türkiye’s eligibility to take part in the Ballon d’Or Féminin jury for the first time this year was made possible by the Türkiye Women’s National Football Team entering the top 50 of the FIFA Women’s World Ranking. According to the official 2026 Ballon d’Or regulations, the international jury for the women’s award consists of one expert journalist from each of the top 50 countries in the FIFA Women’s World Ranking. With Türkiye moving into the top 50, the country earned the right to send a representative to the jury.
Organised by France Football, the Ballon d’Or Féminin determines the world’s best female footballer through an international jury vote. Müjde Elmas will evaluate the nominees and cast Türkiye’s vote in the 2026 voting process.
