tHe is 2025 Baron de Holles round the corner and the world of football is eagerly waiting to find out who the new king and queen of the season will become. In the male category, the big favorites are the trio where Ousmane Dembele (PSG) and Barcelona transferred Ramin Yamal and Rafina and analyzed by artificial intelligence to predict future winners.
In contrast, Frenchman Killian Mbappe appears to have been removed from the battle. His current club, Real Madrid, would have decided not to attend the ceremony for the second year in a row.

It’s not just male soccer
Gala also gives the best rewards in women’s football. Colombia’s Linda Kayseko will be nominated for the best young player category of Real Madrid. Plus, the best coaches and best clubs of the season are recognized.
How much will the winner earn?
Many believe that the Ballon d’Or comes with a large prize, but the reality is completely different. There is no direct financial remuneration. Supported by French Football and UEFA, the award simply carves the statue as a symbol of fame. In fact, the estimate for the trophy (not made from pure gold) is 3,000 euros.
However, the impact is far beyond the prize money. The club is taking advantage of the opportunity to provide bonuses and incentives to award-winning players and brands, and sign a million-dollar advertising deal with winners.
More than a trophy
Lifting the Baron means quickly increasing the market value and status of a footballer. After all, fame and global recognition far outweigh the lack of direct financial rewards.
