Innovation. The winner of the Ballon d'Or 2024 will not know about the victory before the ceremony

The ceremony for the 2024 Ballon d'Or will take place soon, on October 28, but the suspense surrounding the winner will last until the very end.

Details: According to The Athletic, unlike in previous years, the organizers of the ceremony, France Football, will not interview the winner before the event.

This means that the recipient of the 2024 Ballon d'Or will find out about their victory only when the ceremony hosts open the envelope with their name. In the past, winners were informed of their success ahead of time.

Reminder: A total of 30 players are in contention for the 2024 Ballon d'Or. The favorites include Vinícius Júnior, Rodri, and Jude Bellingham.

Earlier, Marca reported an insider tip suggesting that the award will go to Vinícius Júnior.
