Ousmane Dembélé or Lamine Yamal, who will be the happy winner of the Ballon d'Or 2025? After several months of speculation, supporters will finally have the answer this Monday evening during the 69th Golden Ball ceremony to be held at the Théâtre du Châtelet, in Paris.
After its excellent 2024-2025 season (35 goals and 16 assists in 53 matches in all competitions), Ousmane Dembélé seems to be the favorite for the succession of Rodri this year. If his coronation is confirmed, the player will be the sixth French to raise the trophy, three years after Karim Benzema. But a surprise is not impossible. While Vinicius seemed to be the big favorite last year, Rodri finally won, causing the anger and misunderstanding of Real Madrid and certain specialists.
How does the ceremony go?
The L'Equipe chain will take the antenna at 5:05 p.m. and will unveil during the program, the Greg team, the classification of the 30th to eleventh place in the male and female golden balloons. The red carpet will then be held at 7:30 p.m., announcing the arrival of candidates who will enter the room of the famous Parisian theater.
The awards ceremony of the different categories will start at 9 p.m. The male golden ball should be announced at 10:45 p.m. The ceremony will be hosted by Ruud Gullit and Kate Scott for the first time.
On which channel to see the Ballon d'Or?
The Golden Ball ceremony will be broadcast live on the L'Equipe channel, available on TNT channel 21. Spectators will have an appointment with Messaoud Benterki accompanied by Amber Godillon, Djibril Cissé, Benjamin Castaldi, France Pierron and David Aiello throughout the evening.
