Ballon d'Or 2025: Date, Nominations, and Exciting New Changes

The 2025 Ballon d'Or ceremony will take place earlier than usual, with the prestigious event scheduled for September 22, 2025, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. This year, France Football, the organization behind the award, is introducing a significant change by adding three new categories to honor women’s football. This move reflects the growing effort to ensure equal recognition for female athletes in international football. The nominations for the prestigious award will be revealed in August, ahead of the ceremony.
Among the top contenders for the 2025 Ballon d'Or are star players like Ousmane Dembélé, Raphinha, Kylian Mbappé, and Mohamed Salah, all of whom are expected to feature prominently in the race. The award system remains the same, with journalists from the top 100 FIFA-ranked countries casting votes to determine the winner in the men's category, while the women's category will be based on the top 50 FIFA-ranked nations.
A major twist in the 2025 edition is that the reigning Ballon d'Or winner, Rodri, will not be able to defend his title due to an ACL injury that has sidelined him for the season. This opens the door for a new winner, with speculation growing over who might take the trophy. Notably, Lionel Messi continues to hold the record for the most Ballon d'Ors, with eight wins, while Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed the honor five times. The 2025 edition promises to be an exciting and historic event, with the inclusion of new awards and fresh contenders.
