Ballon d’Or 2025: All nominees, all awards, full schedule

The nominees for the Ballon d’Or 2025 will be revealed today (Thursday, 7 August) with shortlists for all categories announced in stages throughout the afternoon on the official L’Équipe website and app.

First awarded in 1956, the Ballon d’Or is both the name of the award presented to the world’s best men’s and women’s footballers, and the annual ceremony that honours standout performers from across the game. Organised by France Football, the event now includes prizes for young players, goalkeepers, coaches, clubs and humanitarian impact, alongside the prestigious individual trophies.
