The prestigious Ballon d’Or ceremony is set for Monday, October 28, in Paris, with top football stars competing for the award. Football fans will be surprised, as this will be the first time since 2003 that neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo is in the running for the award. Since its inception in 1956, the Ballon d’Or has remained one of the most prestigious honours in football. This time, Real Madrid and Brazil forward Vinicius Junior is seen as a leading contender, although nothing is confirmed yet, with Manchester City’s Rodri and Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham also strong candidates for the title. With the award expected to be big, here’s where you can watch the live streaming of the Ballon d’Or ceremony in India.
