Overview

  • A weather-postponed Marseille–PSG match was moved to Monday 20:00, creating a timing conflict that is expected to keep several PSG nominees on match duty in Marseille.
  • Ousmane Dembélé is widely framed as the leading contender ahead of Lamine Yamal, with Kylian Mbappé also cited as a candidate.
  • Real Madrid skipped the 2024 gala and reports suggest their attendance remains uncertain, leaving the presence of Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham in question.
  • France Football released a 30-player shortlist that includes Dembélé, Yamal, Mbappé, Bellingham and Florian Wirtz, and the gala also features the Ballon d'Or féminin, Yashin, Kopa, Gerd‑Müller and club awards.
  • The men's winner is chosen by 100 journalists who rank 10 players on a 15–12–10 down to 1 point scale, and coverage is available on DAZN with some networks such as Sky also carrying the show.
