The most-anticipated sports award presentation of the year, the Ballon d’Or 2023 Ceremony, will begin on Monday (October 30) in Paris, France. Big awards in various categories will be presented in addition to selecting the winner of the most prestigious individual award in football history in men’s and women’s categories, with other big names contending for the same. Here’s all you need to know about the Ballon d’Or ceremony in 2023, including where and how to watch it live on streaming networks.
While all eyes are on who will be crowned the best player in the men’s category – Lionel Messi, who helped his team win the World Cup last year—or Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker who won the treble—speculations are breaking the roof over the potential winners in the women’s category as well.
Messi, the Argentine great, is the top contender for the men’s crown, having won a record seven previous titles—the most by any footballer in history. His World Cup victory in Qatar provides him with an advantage over the lanky Norwegian attacker, who scored 52 goals in total. Meanwhile, Spain’s World Cup winner, Aitana Bonmati, is favored to win the women’s division.
