Ballon d’Or 2026: The Unveiling of the 30 Nominees Sparks Reactions
Paris, September 2026 – France Football has released the much-anticipated list of 30 nominees for the 2026 Ballon d’Or. This prestigious event has once again highlighted the dominance of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), with an impressive ten current players from the club making the cut for the 2025-26 season.
PSG’s Strong Presence
The list includes nine players who were pivotal in clinching the Champions League title: last year’s winner Ousmane Dembélé, alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, and Nuno Mendes. Notably, two central defenders have made it to the list, marking their debut nominations, while Désiré Doué has been excluded this year. New PSG star and World Cup hero, Ferran Torres, also earns a nomination.
Familiar Faces Among the Nominees
The list also features expected contenders and fan favorites like Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, Rodri, Lamine Yamal, Michael Olise, and Erling Haaland. Surprisingly, some global stars seem to have secured their spots due to their standing in the football world, such as Vinicius Jr., Lautaro Martinez, and notably, Sadio Mané.
Predictions for the Winner
Could the Ballon d’Or remain with a PSG player? Ousmane Dembélé believes so, hinting that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia might be the likely winner. Dembélé praises the Georgian’s remarkable Champions League performance, placing him as a strong contender. He further shares his top three picks: Kvaratskhelia, Harry Kane—who had an exceptional season—and Kylian Mbappé. Dembélé humorously adds that he never votes for himself, maintaining a humble stance amid speculations.
This unveiling not only stirs excitement but also sets the stage for intense debates and predictions as the football world eagerly anticipates the crowning of this year’s Ballon d’Or winner.
