Ballon d’Or organizers introduce new rule for selecting the winner

France Football, the organizers of the Ballon d’Or, are set to introduce a new rule starting this year.

With just over two weeks before the ceremony on October 28, speculation is rife about who will claim the prestigious award. Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior is considered a strong favorite, with players like Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Rodri also in the mix.

Vinicius was exceptional last season, helping Real Madrid win both La Liga and the Champions League.
