Ballon d'Or 2026 Nominees Revealed

Among the key nominees for men's award are Harry Kane, who scored 73 goals for club and country, and Kylian Mbappé, who made history by becoming the all-time top World Cup goalscorer. Last year's winner Ousmane Dembélé, who helped PSG win a second straight Champions League, expects the award to remain with a PSG player, citing teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Kane and Mbappé as his top contenders.

In the women's category, two-time winner Alexia Putellas, Ewa Pajor and Melchie Dumornay are favorites after three-time winner Aitana Bonmatí missed most of the season through injury. The winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on October 26. fishroad-app.com
