Football fans are looking toward London this Monday evening for the 70th annual Ballon d'Or ceremony. For the first time, the event is hosted in the British capital instead of Paris, commemorating seventy years since the inaugural award in 1956. The ceremony takes place at the London Palladium at 9:00 PM (Algiers time), hosted by Thierry Henry and Kate Scott. Global coverage is provided by DAZN and beIN SPORTS. The list of contenders for the prestigious award features prominent names such as Ousmane Dembélé, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, Lamine Yamal, and Jude Bellingham. The night will also honor top goalkeepers, coaches, and young talents. Winners are determined by a panel of specialized journalists based on individual and collective performance, as well as sportsmanship.
