Ballon d’Or Nominees List: Mbappé and Surprise Kolo Muani Included

On Wednesday, France Football revealed the list of 30 players nominated for the 2023 Ballon d’Or.

In contrast to previous editions, the Ballon d’Or Trophy now covers a season rather than a calendar year. Among the nominees, two Paris Saint-Germain players have been included: Kylian Mbappé and Randal Kolo Muani, both 24-year-old forwards.

Lionel Messi, the top favorite for the Ballon d’Or and a former PSG player, is also present on this list.
