As Ballon d'Or vote nears, stars campaign for the award

With less than two weeks until the Ballon d'Or voting closes, many leading candidates are ramping up their campaigns. The trophy will be presented on October 26, following the release of the 30 candidates by France Football on September 8. Lamine Yamal, who won the World Cup and La Liga in 2026, stated that he deserves the award, just like Kylian Mbappé, who emphasized his status as the all-time top scorer in World Cup history.
