The countdown to the 2024 Ballon d’Or is on! Check out the exciting shortlist of superstars vying for football's most prestigious award! 🏆⚽️ #BallonDor2024

As the footballing world eagerly anticipates the prestigious Ballon d’Or 2024 ceremony in Paris on October 28, the nominees list is making waves! France Football officially revealed the shortlist earlier on September 4, showcasing a host of talent from across the globe. The competition this year is stiff, with rising stars such as Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, and Vinicius Jr vying for the coveted Golden Ball. Fans are passionately speculating about who will take home the iconic award as the countdown moves into its final stretch.

While many household names continue to dominate the nominations list, there are notable absences this year. Shockingly, Lionel Messi, the eight-time winner and last year's holder, is expected to miss the podium entirely! It seems that even legends have to step aside for the new generation. Liverpool's dynamic duo, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, also faced a hefty snub as neither secured a place in the top-30, proving that this year's race is all about fresh faces and new talent.

Among the noteworthy mentions are Rodri, who has been nothing short of sensational in midfield for Manchester City, and Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappé, who are both perennial favorites for the top. Fans from South Africa will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on the entire Mohammed Salah saga, both curious and hopeful for the Egyptian King’s potential to bounce back in future competitions. However, seeing a lineup that doesn’t feature either Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi is a surreal turn of events that might mark a new era in football history.

The atmosphere surrounding the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on the evening of the awards will be electric as the footballing elite gather to celebrate excellence on the pitch. Beyond the individual accolades, there will also be awards for teams and coaches, adding to the tension and excitement of the night. As fans prepare to tune in from all corners of the globe, it’s becoming abundantly clear that the 2024 Ballon d’Or will go down in history for its suspenseful nominations and a fresh array of stars bursting onto the scene.

Fun Fact 1: Did you know that the Ballon d'Or was first awarded in 1956? Originally, it was exclusively for European players, but in 1995, that barrier was broken, and players from around the world became eligible!

Fun Fact 2: The youngest player ever to win the Ballon d'Or was the legendary Pelé, who took home the prestigious prize in 1958 at just 17 years old! Football truly is a sport where age is just a number!
