Williams, the first goalkeeper nominated for the award while playing for an African club, received his nomination last month. His standout performances at the Africa Cup of Nations, where Bafana Bafana secured a bronze medal in Ivory Coast earlier this year, played a key role in his recognition.
Currently, Williams holds 66.5% of the fan votes, with Real Madrid’s Lunin and Aston Villa’s Martinez both tied at 12%.
The 68th edition of the Ballon d’Or awards will be held on October 28 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, France.
