Ballon d’Or Introduces New Rule Ahead of 2024 Ceremony
The organizers of the prestigious Ballon d’Or, France Football, have announced a significant change to their long-standing tradition for this year’s awards. As the countdown to the highly anticipated ceremony on October 28 continues, the football world is abuzz with speculation over who will claim the top prize.
Among the frontrunners is Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, whose stellar performances helped his club secure both the LaLiga and Champions League titles last season. Other notable contenders include Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Rodri.
However, according to Mario Cortegana, a correspondent for The Athletic, France Football has decided to implement a new rule for the 2024 Ballon d’Or. Unlike in previous years, the winner will no longer be interviewed by the organizers prior to the event. Traditionally, the recipient was informed of their victory before the ceremony.
This year, however, the winner will only find out when the envelope is opened during the live broadcast. This shift is expected to add an extra layer of suspense and excitement to the already highly anticipated event.
Fans now eagerly await the ceremony, where football’s finest will gather to witness who takes home the coveted award under this new rule.
