In the world of football, the most prestigious and coveted award is the Ballon d’Or. The question of who will take it into their hands always sparks great interest. The reputable portal Goal presented its analysts’ and experts’ predictions about which footballers could win this award in the next ten years.
According to the publication, the predictions were made based on the potential of talented young players, their possible results at international and club level, participation in major tournaments, as well as potential transfers. “We thought about the future stars of football and predicted who might, with their bright performances, become contenders for the Ballon d’Or,” the report said.
Goal’s forecast for the next decade:
2026 – Kylian Mbappe. Despite his young age, the French star is already recognized as one of the strongest forwards in the world.
2027 – Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian attacker can still play at the highest level and, with his experience, become one of the main leaders.
2028 – Jude Bellingham or Cole Palmer. The two young English talents are expected to occupy leading positions in the coming years.
2029 – Erling Haaland. The Norwegian “sharpshooter” with his many goals and impressive statistics is one of the strongest contenders.
2030 – Lamine Yamal. Barcelona’s young talent has already attracted huge attention across Europe and is expected to become a full-fledged superstar in the future.
2031 – again Lamine Yamal. His potential could keep him at the top level for many years.
2032 – Desire Doue. The young French player is highlighted as having great prospects.
2033 and 2034 – again Lamine Yamal. Goal’s experts predict that his talent and skills will allow him to remain one of the leaders of world football for a long time.
Thus, in the next ten years, not only well-known stars like Mbappe, Salah and Haaland, but also young talents such as Yamal may secure their names in football history. These predictions sparked huge interest among fans and provoked heated debates about the future Ballon d’Or winners.
