World Cup and Ballon d'Or, Al-Khelaifi names his favourites! | OneFootball

Present at the Metropolitano stadium for “The Forum,” Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi spoke on several topics. Among them were the future Ballon d’Or winner as well as the favorite nation for the 2026 World Cup.

Al-Khelaïfi: “It will be a PSG player, 60 to 70% chance.”

Al-Khelaïfi: “A European team will win the World Cup.”

The two events are necessarily closely linked. It is unlikely to imagine that the winner of the next Ballon d’Or will not be a world champion or at least a finalist. Last year, Ousmane Dembélé, winner of the Champions League with PSG, was able to lift his first BO.

This year again, given the Red and Blue performances on the European stage, it could once again be a Parisian. Especially since a nation like Portugal or France, both of which have several Parisians in their squad, are among the favorites for this World Cup. PSG could therefore shine both in collective and individual honors.
