Marca newspaper revealed that the 2024 Ballon d’Or will witness an unusual change by a decision from France Football magazine that will add great excitement to the award.
The French magazine used to conduct a press interview with the player who won the award before the ceremony, meaning that the winner always knows this early.
But in the 2024 version, it was decided that the interview with the winner will take place after the ceremony, which is scheduled for Monday, October 28.
This decision means that whoever will be crowned with the Ballon d’Or will not know that he is the winner until the ceremony announces the identity of who will win the most important individual award in football.
This news comes to refute the credibility of what was said about France Football already informing Vinicius Junior of his winning the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
The Brazilian international remains the closest in practical terms to achieving the award, and finds himself in fierce competition with Rodri, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe.
It is noteworthy that Lionel Messi was the last to win the Golden Ball in the 2023 edition, but for the first time in many years he is outside the list of 30 players nominated for the award in 2024.
