Хөлбөмбөгийн ертөнцийн хамгийн нэр хүндтэй хувийн шагналыг гардуулах 70 дахь удаагийн ёслол даваа гарагт Лондон хотын “Лондон Палладиум” театрт зохион байгуулагдаж байна.
2024 оноос хойш УЕФА-тай хамтран зохион байгуулж буй энэхүү ёслолд Алекса Путеллас болон Харри Кэйн нар гол шагнал хүртэх магадлалтай гол нэр дэвшигчдээр нэрлэгдээд байна. Өнгөрсөн жилийн хувьд Аитана Бонмати болон Усман Дембеле нар тус тусын ангилалд шилдгээр тодорч байсан түүхтэй. Энэ удаагийн арга хэмжээ нь анхны “Баллон д’Ор”-ын эзэн Сэр Стэнли Мэтьюзийн алдрыг хүндэтгэн Лондон хотноо шилжин ирснээрээ онцлог юм.
Ёслолын үеэр сэтгүүлч Кэйт Скотт болон Тьерри Анри нар хөтлөгчөөр ажиллах бөгөөд дуучин Жоржа Смит, Френч Монтана нар урлагийн үзүүлбэр үзүүлнэ. Албан ёсны ажиллагаа 20:00 цагаас эхлэх хуваарьтай байгаа бөгөөд үзэгчид DAZN сувгаар дамжуулан үнэ төлбөргүй хүлээн авч үзэх боломжтой.

Why is the Ballon d’Or 2026 in London?
Paris’ Theatre du Chatelet has hosted the Ballon d’Or since 2019 but the ceremony will move to the London Palladium this year.
The first Ballon d’Or ceremony in London is a tribute to Sir Stanley Matthews, the English inaugural recipient of the golden ball.
L’Equipe editor Gabriel Hanot gave Matthews the award on December 18 1956 in a wood-panelled room at Blackpool Town Hall. Matthews is said to have responded with a “truncated speech” and received a “smattering of applause”.
“He was a pioneer,” the Ballon d’Or’s official account says of Matthews.
“Continually pushing the boundaries in diet and fitness and adopting methodologies that, at the time, were considered quirky at best by scoffing team-mates, but which are now cornerstones of modern-day practices.
“He was years ahead of the curve. Decades. And though it was only a ceremony of sorts, and though this year’s gala is being held 250 miles south of the Lancashire coastline, it can be stated that this autumn football is coming home. Back to where the Ballon d’Or all began.”
Ballon d’Or 2026 ceremony: Who’s hosting and performing?
Hugely popular journalist Kate Scott will be on expert hosting duties alongside familiar CBS Sports sidekick Thierry Henry.
France legend Henry was nominated for the Ballon d’Or nine times, finishing second in 2003.
Musicians Jorja Smith and French Montana will perform and organisers are promising “further surprises”.
British singer-songwriter Smith blends R&B, soul, jazz and electronic influences and will open the ceremony by performing her 2016 single, Blue Lights, to mark 10 years since the release of the record.
Morocco-born, Bronx raised Montana is a three-time Grammy-nominated hiphop star whose hits include the Diamond-certified Unforgettable, which featured Swae Lee, the five-time Platinum No Stylist with Drake and the six-time Platinum Lockjaw with Kodak Black.
