France Football is set to unveil the nominees for the prestigious Ballon d’Or 2025 award today, and Ghanaian football fans are eagerly waiting to see if any of the country’s stars will make the cut.
A number of fans have their fingers crossed in anticipation to see if Mohammed Kudus would make the cut despite his struggles with West Ham last season.
Although there aren’t any prominent Ghanaian players expected to be in consideration as part of the 30-man shortlist for the award, some African players are in the running.
Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi, who had an impressive season with PSG, is considered a strong contender.
Other notable Africans who might be in contention include Egypt’s Mohamed Salah and Guinea’s Serhou Guirassy.
If a Ghanaian player makes the cut, it would be the first time in 15 years it has happened.
The ceremony will take place on September 22, 2025, and fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the top 30 nominees.
