Nominees: The 2025 Contenders

France Football's shortlist dropped earlier this summer, featuring 30 men and 15 women vying for glory. Barcelona's Aitana Bonmatí aims to defend her women's title, while the men's field is stacked with veterans and breakout stars. Other awards include the Kopa Trophy (best U-21) and Yashin Award (top goalkeeper).

Men's standout nominees:

  • Forwards: Ousmane Dembele (PSG/France), Lamine Yamal (Barcelona/Spain), Raphinha (Barcelona/Brazil), Mohamed Salah (Liverpool/Egypt), Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid/France).
  • Midfielders: Vitinha (PSG/Portugal), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid/England), Fabian Ruiz (PSG/Spain).
  • Defenders: Achraf Hakimi (PSG/Morocco), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool/Netherlands).
  • Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool/Brazil), Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid/Belgium).

Power Rankings: Top 10 Men's Contenders

With votes from global journalists being counted, our rankings combine goals, assists, trophies, and impact, drawn from stats and expert insights. Dembele's Ligue 1 dominance and PSG's treble chase give him the edge, but Yamal's Euro 2024 heroics make it close.

  1. Ousmane Dembele (PSG) – 28 goals, 22 assists; Ligue 1 MVP.
  2. Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) – Euro 2024 star; 18 goals in La Liga.
  3. Vitinha (PSG) – Midfield engine with 15 assists.
  4. Raphinha (Barcelona) – Champions League clutch performer.
  5. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – Premier League's 25+ goal machine.
  6. Desire Doue (PSG) – Breakout star with 12 goals off the bench.
  7. Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid) – 20 goals in La Liga transition.
  8. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli) – Serie A dazzler.
  9. Nuno Mendes (PSG) – Defensive wall.
  10. Achraf Hakimi (PSG) – Dynamic wing-back.

Prediction: Dembele leads with 45% odds, but Yamal's youth and flair could echo Messi's early triumphs. For the women, Bonmatí faces stiff competition from Chelsea's Alessia Russo.
