The 69th edition of the Ballon d’Or, football’s most prestigious individual accolade, will take place on Monday 22 September at the iconic Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.
UEFA and Groupe Amaury, owner of France Football and L’Équipe, have partnered since last year to co-organise the celebrated event. Presented annually by France Football since 1956, the Ballon d’Or is the most distinguished accolade a football player can receive, recognising exceptional talent and outstanding achievements on the pitch. This year, we are proud to expand our recognition to include three new categories celebrating the achievements of female players.
The 2025 awards will include the Men’s and Women’s Ballon d’Or, Men’s and Women’s Kopa Trophy (best young player), Men’s and Women’s Yashin Trophy (best goalkeeper), Men’s and Women’s Gerd Müller Trophy (top scorer in club/national team), Men’s and Women’s Johan Cruyff Trophy (best coach in club/national team), Men’s and Women’s Club of the Year, and Sócrates Award, presented by L’Équipe group and Peace and Sport, for solidarity actions or societal causes carried out by a committed champion.
The nominees will be announced at the beginning of August.
