Ballon d’Or 2025 Nominees to Be Announced Tomorrow
The official shortlist for the prestigious 2025 Ballon d’Or will be revealed on August 7, but early leaks have already begun to surface — and one unexpected name is generating serious buzz.
Scott McTominay is reportedly set to make his debut appearance on the Ballon d’Or nominee list. The 28-year-old midfielder enjoyed a sensational season after his move to Napoli, where he emerged as a true leader and played a pivotal role in guiding the club to the Serie A title.
In what was arguably the best season of his career, McTominay made 48 appearances across all competitions and scored an impressive 16 goals — an extraordinary return for a box-to-box midfielder.
The favourites for the award remain the headline-makers: Lamine Yamal, Ousmane Dembélé, and Raphinha are expected to lead the race following their standout seasons at both club and international level.
