Ballon D’Or 2025: Complete List Of Awards And Nominees

The Ballon d’Or 2025, which is the most coveted personal award in football, announced nominees across several awards honouring the best players, coaches and clubs in men’s and women’s football. The announcement came during the ceremony hosted at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris on Thursday, 7 August 2025.

This year’s Ballon d’Or Ceremony, which is the 69th edition of the award handed out by France Football, features several new awards introduced for women’s footballers, goalkeepers, coaches, and youth prospects.

Also, this year’s Ballon d’Or awards will be given on a seasonal basis – based on performances from 1 August 2024 to 31 July 2025 – instead of a yearly basis. Notably, two players who dominated the award for over a decade, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, will again be absent for the second time running.
