#Ballon Dor

Bayern Munich and Harry Kane have agreed on a new contract until 2029. The 33-year-old forward is having an outstanding season and is contending for the Ballon d'Or.

On September 29, 2026, legendary Ukrainian forward Andriy Shevchenko turns 50. The Ballon d'Or winner boasts triumphs with Dynamo and Milan, historic European nights, and current leadership of the UAF.

In an interview with Universo Valdano, Lamine Yamal named himself and Kylian Mbappé the only contenders for the 2026 Ballon d’Or and confidently declared that the award should go to him.

Lionel Messi has agreed on the key terms of buying 100% of the shares of Spanish side Eldense from the Colombian group TH Soluciones. An official announcement is expected after the deal is confirmed by Spain's Supreme Sports Council.

AFA has approved a pause at the 10th minute in all matches across the country in honor of Messi, who has ended his international career. The ceremony will cover football, futsal, and beach soccer, and a career retrospective will be shown on the screens.

José Mourinho stated that the Ballon d'Or should be awarded to a player of unique individual level, not to the holder of team trophies, and criticized the 'politics' in the voting.
