Ballon d'Or 2024 ceremony in Paris. The Ballon d'Or is an esteemed individual award in the world of football, established by France Football magazine in 1956, and one that has been dominated by Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the last 15 years or so. This time, however, there will be a different winner, with Manchester City's Rodri and Real Madrid's Vinicius the favourites.

It’s all set! Before the commencement of the 2024 Ballon d'Or ceremony, scheduled for 20:45 at the Théâtre du Châtelet, L'Équipe channel is revealing the rankings of the 30 finalists gradually. Where will the two French internationals named, Kylian Mbappé (PSG/Real Madrid) and William Saliba (Arsenal), finish? Will Vinicius Jr. and the Real Madrid delegation make the trip? Could Rodri pull off a surprise by succeeding Lionel Messi as the winner? Stay tuned for the live commentary below, starting at 16:45.
RMC Sport dropped a bombshell earlier in the afternoon. Despite being the favorite to win the Ballon d'Or after a remarkable 2023-2024 season that saw him clinch both La Liga and the Champions League, Vinicius Jr. may not be the chosen one after all. His entourage is now convinced of this outcome. Outraged by this scenario, Florentino Perez has reportedly decided to cancel the trip of Real Madrid’s delegation to Paris at the last minute! If confirmed, this could mean the award goes to Rodri...
In just a few hours, as the ceremony takes place at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, nothing has leaked regarding the identity of the new best player in the world. Unlike previous editions where winners were sometimes known days ahead of time, the 2024 Ballon d'Or promises to hold significant surprises for the fortunate recipient. France Football has indeed done everything possible to maintain suspense until the envelope is opened, without notifying players and their entourages. No interviews have been conducted yet.
As in previous years, the 2024 Ballon d'Or ceremony will be broadcast live and in full on the L'Équipe channel. A special edition looking back on previous awards will kick off at 13:00, but the rankings will begin to be disclosed progressively at 16:45 during the show L'Équipe de Greg. Around 19:00, numerous invited personalities will walk the red carpet before joining the Théâtre du Châtelet for the official ceremony's start at 20:45. The evening is expected to conclude around 22:50.
