Overview
- France Football’s ceremony takes place Monday at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris with global broadcasts scheduled.
- An online list widely shared claims Lamine Yamal finished first with 805 points, narrowly ahead of Ousmane Dembélé on 800, though the tally remains unconfirmed.
- Coverage frames Yamal and Dembélé as the leading contenders, with Vitinha frequently cited as the third name in a notably close vote.
- Spanish reports say Yamal will travel with about 20 family members and has a private celebration planned in Paris in case he wins.
- The men’s award is decided by 100 international journalists using a points system, and this edition expands parity with women’s Kopa, Yashin and Gerd Müller trophies.
