Paris Saint-Germain and France forward Ousmane Dembélé has been awarded the 2025 Men’s Ballon d’Or.

The 28-year-old was named ahead of Lamine Yamal and Paris club-mate Vitinha to complete a memorable campaign.

Dembélé played a key role in Paris Saint-Germain’s UEFA Champions League triumph, also helping his club secure a domestic double, finishing the 2024/25 season with 37 goals and 15 assists.

Other men’s honours announced in Paris included the Men’s Kopa Trophy for best young player, Men’s Yashin Trophy for best goalkeeper, Men’s Johan Cruyff Trophy for best coach in club or national team, Men’s Gerd Müller Trophy for top scorer in club or national team, and Men’s Club of the Year.

Aitana Bonmatí won the Women’s Ballon d’Or for the third consecutive year, while Lamine Yamal was awarded the Men’s Kopa Trophy. Gianluigi Donnarumma received the Men’s Yashin Trophy, Luis Enrique claimed the Men’s Johan Cruyff Trophy, and Viktor Gyökeres, now with Arsenal, won the Men’s Gerd Müller Trophy after scoring 63 goals for Sporting CP and Sweden.

The 69th edition of the Ballon d’Or ceremony was held at Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris on Monday, September 22. Presented annually by France Football since 1956, the Ballon d’Or is regarded as the most prestigious individual award in football.

For the second time, the event was co-organised by UEFA and Groupe Amaury, the owner of France Football and L’Équipe.
