One of the biggest events in world football, the Ballon d’Or 2025 ceremony, makes people wonder if Ousmane Dembélé will win the sport’s highest individual award this year.

Since 1956, France Football has given the world’s top-performing player the Ballon d’Or, football’s most coveted individual honor. It honors exceptional accomplishments based on past season performances, taking into account both club and international play.

The Men’s and Women’s Ballon d’Or, the Kopa Trophy (best under-21 player), the Yashin Trophy (best goalkeeper), and several other categories will have winners announced at the high-profile event. In India, viewers can watch live on the Sony Sports Network or stream on SonyLIV⁽⿽. The event is televised and livestreamed worldwide.

One of the leading contenders for the 2025 Ballon d’Or is Ousmane Dembélé of PSG and France. He will face off against other top players like Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid, Erling Haaland of Manchester City, Lamine Yamal of Barcelona, and others.
