Barça Femení has earned yet another recognition for its outstanding work. At the Ballon d’Or gala, the team was named the Best Women's Team of 2026. The award returns to the Barça trophy cabinet after previously victories in 2024 and 2023.

The Barça women's team reclaim this prestigious distinction following an exceptional year, in which both the football and the trophies came in spades for Pere Romeu's team.

The award comes after an exceptional 2025/26 season. A campaign in which Pere Romeu’s Barça demonstrated its ambition and competitiveness in every competition, achieving and repeating a historic quadruple. The four trophies won confirmed the excellence of a team that never tires of making history. The League, Copa de la Reina, Spanish Super Cup, and UEFA Women's Champions League were all added to Barça Femení's list of honours. Once again, they have been chosen as the Best Team of the Year.

FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta went up on stage in the London Palladium Theatre to receive the award on behalf of the team. "Thank you for giving us this award, it is a great honour. I would like to thank everyone involved with the team. I am thinking about our players, you are fantastic. The coach too, Pere Romeu, the directors, everyone involved in women's football," said Laporta before concluding with a reference to the Barça fans: "Thank you for always being behind Barça Femení." 

Three times in four years

The 2026 award continues a successful run that had already been recognised in 2023, the first year the award for the Best Women’s Team of the Year was presented, and again in 2024. Although the prize did not come Barça’s way in 2025, when it was won by Arsenal, the blaugranes have returned to the top thanks to a year that combined results, quality football, and ambition.

As a result, the team has now won three awards in four years, further demonstrating the footballing dominance of a side that has become a benchmark in women's football around the world.

Four to remember

Last season was marked by Barça’s ability to compete at the highest level both domestically and on the European stage. The Barça women¡s team claimed their seventh consecutive League title in dominant fashion, lifted the Copa de la Reina and the Spanish Super Cup, and regained the European crown with a commanding 4-0 victory over OL Lyonnes in the UEFA Women's Champions League final, played in Oslo.

These four trophies reflect the talent, collective effort, and high standards of a team that has consistently risen to the occasion in the most decisive of moments. With a recognisable style of play and a winning mentality, Barça Femení continues to demonstrate year after year that they are capable of competing for every trophy and turning those ambitions into silverware. In 2026, the team was once again recognised as the Best Team of the Year, marking another milestone for a squad that has made excellence its hallmark.
