Ballon d'Or 2026: After the Break with the FFF, Gianni Infantino Highlights Mbappé and Dembélé

Gianni Infantino, FIFA president, recently highlighted Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé on social media, despite a breakdown in trust with the French Football Federation (FFF). This announcement comes after the FFF decided to withdraw its support for Infantino in the upcoming FIFA presidential election in March 2027. The two players, reportedly at odds according to their recent statements, are seen as contenders for the Ballon d'Or, with the ceremony scheduled for October 26 in London.
