Music meets soccer in Paris as the Ballon d'Or ceremony nears, promising surprise performances that will set the tone for one of the sport’s most glamorous nights.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have shaped a generation of soccer, breaking records and redefining greatness. Their Ballon d’Or counts highlight a legendary rivalry that continues to captivate fans worldwide.
For decades the Ballon d’Or has crowned soccer’s brightest stars, yet goalkeepers remain almost forgotten in its history — their rare place in this award tells a story of brilliance and bias.
The magazine and organizers of the Ballon d’Or ceremony revealed the parameters they used to select the winner ahead of the 2025 award ceremony.
French legend Thierry Henry was clear about his choice for the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner.
He once finished fourth in Ballon d’Or voting, was top scorer at a European Championship, and lifted multiple international trophies in European soccer.
Lamine Yamal has been nominated for the 2025 Ballon d'Or for his excellent campaign with Barcelona. Check out at which age was Lionel Messi's first nomination for the award.
The Ballon d’Or revealed its 2025 Men’s Coach of the Year nominees, with surprising omissions: Pep Guardiola and Lionel Scaloni. Who made the list—and why?
After the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, the battle for the Ballon d'Or is beginning to take shape. Unlike the last update in March 2025, Lamine Yamal is now gaining favor, while Kylian Mbappe is slipping out of the race.
The official Ballon d'Or social media account posed a question that immediately triggered a debate among fans of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The qualification of Paris Saint-Germain to the Champions League final reportedly boosts the chances of a French player winning the 2025 Ballon d’Or, at the expense of Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal.
Barcelona star Lamine Yamal could accomplish an incredible feat that even legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo never achieved.
Despite being one of the greatest soccer stars of all time and the most decorated Ballon d'Or winner in history, Lionel Messi’s success is under scrutiny from a World Cup champion with Italy.
Last year, Manchester City's Rodri claimed the Ballon d'Or, leaving Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior in second place. On Tuesday, the two teams met in the Champions League, where the winger faced mockery from rival fans.
At the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, Cristiano Ronaldo made waves by suggesting Vinícius Jr. deserved the Ballon d’Or, subtly criticizing FIFA in the process.
Cristiano Ronaldo is considered by many to be the greatest player of all time, a sentiment shared by his former agent, Jorge Mendes. Recently, he identified a young talent he believes could succeed CR7 as the king of soccer and claim multiple Ballon d'Or awards.
