Who voted for whom in the 2025 Men’s Ballon d’Or? Complete points ranking
Here’s the full voting list for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
Ousmane Dembélé beat Lamine Yamal to the 2025 men’s Ballon d’Or on Monday night in Paris, with the French winger topping off a sensational season for PSG.
Aitana Bonmatí, meanwhile, made it three in as many years as she beat her compatriot Mariona Caldentey in the race for the top individual prize in football.
How does Ballon d’Or voting work?
A pool of 30 candidates is first assembled by editors from France Football together with L’Équipe. Once that shortlist is set, one reporter representing each of the 100 highest-ranked FIFA nations casts a ballot naming their top ten choices for the men’s award.
Points are allocated in descending order—15 for a first-place selection, then 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 for the rest. All ballots are added together to form the overall standings. If two players finish with the same score, the number of first-place votes is used as a tiebreaker. If that is also equal, second-place votes are compared, then third, and so on until the tie is broken.
For the women’s Ballon d’Or, the process is similar but involves fewer voters: one journalist from each of the top 50 footballing nations contributes to the final ranking instead of 100.
