Ballon d'Or organizers schedule nominee announcement for September 8

The organization behind the Ballon d'Or confirmed that the list of nominees for the upcoming awards will be released on September 8. This announcement will cover multiple categories, including the Men’s and Women’s Ballon d'Or, alongside accolades for coaches, goalkeepers, clubs, and young talent. Following the reveal of the 30-player shortlists for the primary awards, the ceremony is set to take place in London on October 26. This year marks a shift in location as the event moves away from the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. The upcoming edition is viewed as particularly competitive, with organizers noting that the field is among the most open in the last 20 years.
