The announced list of nominees for the Golden Ball 2025 includes 30 players. The leaders among the nominees are Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal, who represent PSG and FC Barcelona respectively.

PSG, which won the Champions League, has the largest number of nominees — nine players, including Dembélé, Vitinha, and Fabien Ruiz. They demonstrated outstanding play, allowing the club to achieve triumphs in various tournaments.

Lamine Yamal, an 18-year-old talent from Barcelona, also received a nomination, thanks to his significant role in the club's achievements, and alongside him in the list are Rafinha and Pedri.
