While the outcome is fast approaching, the race is raging. In just over a month, on September 22, the identity of the Ballon d'Or 2025 will be unveiled on the occasion of the traditional ceremony organized at the Théâtre du Châtelet, in Paris.
In the meantime, last week France Football unveiled its list of 30 nominees for the most prestigious individual awards in football. Unsurprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain, author of a historic quadruple, is well represented with nine retained players, which constitutes a record.
Ousmane Dembélé, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Désiré Doué, Fabian Ruiz, Achraf Hakimi, Joao Neves, Khvitcha Kvaratskhelia, Nuno Mendes and Vitinha are the nine Parisian players appearing in the list. If there are many of them being able to claim the prestigious trophy, PSG has decided to campaign for its number 10, “Dembouz”.

Author of an exceptional 2024-2025 season, Ousmane Dembélé is indeed advancing as the big favorite to the succession of Rodri. Like the breathtaking Lamine Yamal. A duel that necessarily makes the happiness of their common equipment supplier, Adidas, who, unless surprised, will see one of his sacred foals best player on the planet on September 22.
On Monday, the famous sports brand unveiled a new advertising spot with Ousmane Dembélé to promote its latest F50. Under the video posted in particular on the X account of the German firm, Internet users have campaigned for Ballon d'Or returning to the 28 -year -old French striker. Which would not clearly be to displease Adidas, who “liked” some of these messages.
