Rwanda: Joy-Lance Mickels Backs Mbappé to Win 2026 Ballon d'Or
Mickels said Mbappé’s 42-goal season and 10 World Cup goals make him the leading candidate in a 30-man field, with journalists to decide the winner.
- As the October 26 ceremony in London approaches, Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, and Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé have emerged as the leading contenders for the 2026 Ballon d'Or.
- Speaking ahead of England's UEFA Nations League opener on Saturday, England manager Thomas Tuchel backed his captain for the award, citing Kane's "seventy-plus goals" and three titles with Bayern Munich as evidence of his quality.
- Challenging the emphasis on statistics, Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal argued that the Ballon d'Or should recognize players who possess "magic" and inspire fans rather than simply accumulating goals.
- While France captain Kylian Mbappé has expressed his desire to win, supporters such as Rwanda forward Joy-Lance Mickels and Al Nassr's Joao Felix have publicly endorsed different candidates for the prize.
- One hundred journalists from around the world will decide the winner, with voting closing on Monday ahead of next month's ceremony in London where the recipient will be crowned.
