Ballon d'Or 2025 Set for Paris as Unverified List Tips Yamal Over Dembélé

Organizers have not confirmed any results, with pre‑gala leaks renewing scrutiny of voting secrecy after last year’s disclosures.

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.
