The 2025 Ballon d'Or is here. This Monday, September 22, Paris will once again dress up to host the ceremony that distinguishes the best player and the best female player on the football planet. It will be the 69th edition of an award organized by France Football magazine and which, for decades, has established itself as the most prestigious individual recognition in the king of sports.
The Théâtre du Châtelet, a historic stage in the heart of the French capital, will once again be the place chosen for the celebration. There, footballers, coaches, managers, retired legends and cultural figures will gather, in a gala that attracts worldwide attention every year.
