Ballon d'or: another clue in favor of Ousmane Dembélé | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé

Just a few days left before the Ballon d'Or 2025 is revealed. A new clue further points to Ousmane Dembélé's coronation.

The prestigious Ballon d'Or ceremony has secured another heavyweight partner. On Wednesday, UEFA and Amaury Sport Organisation officially announced a deal with Qatar Airways—already a PSG sponsor—to present the award ceremony on September 22 at the Théâtre du Châtelet.

The airline, which is already an official partner of the Champions League and the Euros as well as PSG's shirt sponsor, now becomes the very first “Presenting Partner” of the Ballon d'Or ceremony. This unprecedented role demonstrates UEFA and Amaury Group’s ambition to further globalize the reach of football's most coveted individual prize.

This partnership also strengthens the ties between the Qatari sponsor and PSG, the club where Ousmane Dembélé plays. The French star is one of the frontrunners for this year's Ballon d'Or.
