Ousmane Dembele is the favorite to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or (Instagram/@o.dembele7).

JAKARTA - The Ballon d'Or (Golden Ball) award, which was jointly organized by France Football and UEFA Magazines, is one of the most prestigious individual awards in the world of football.

Starting in 1956, this award was decided by journalists to choose the best European player the previous year.

In 1995, the award was expanded covering all the players playing in Europe. Finally in 2007 it was expanded again to all players around the world.

During the six years between 2010-2015, this award was awarded with FIFA, before the partnership ended. FIFA then returned to their separate annual awards.

The Ballon d'Or version currently awards achievements during a football season and not a calendar year, with the vote being voted by an international jury of journalists (one per country).

Lionel Messi has won the most Ballon d'Ors with eight trophies, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo (five).

The 2025 edition will be the 69th edition of this award and will give recognition for the achievements of the players from August 1, 2024 to July 13, 2025 (which is the final of the 2025 Club World Cup) for the men's category and August 1, 2024 to August 2, 2025 (which is the final of the 2025 Copa America Femenina) for the women's category.

The award night will be held at the Theater du Chatelet, Paris, France, on Monday, September 22, 2025, at 20.00 local time or 02.00 WIB.
