The Ballon d'Or winner's identity was kept confidential

Vincent Garcia, director of France Football magazine, does not want the Ballon d'Or winner to be informed about the voting results in advance. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to a source from ParisTeam, unlike previous years, the winner will have no information about the results until the award ceremony. Additionally, no photoshoots or interviews will be conducted beforehand.

This helps keep the identity of the winner a secret. The France Football organization aims to maintain excitement until the winner's name is revealed.

The current Ballon d'Or holder is Manchester City's midfielder Rodri Hernandez. The new winner will be announced on September 22.

This news is generating great interest among football fans. The award ceremony is traditionally held with great pomp and is widely covered worldwide.

The France Football team strives to adhere to principles of fairness and transparency in selecting the best footballer this year as well. Moreover, all measures are being taken to keep the winner's name confidential.

This, in turn, allows the winner to be announced unexpectedly. The Ballon d'Or holds great prestige in the football world and is awarded annually to honor the best footballer.

This decision serves to make the winner's identity even more mysterious and intriguing.
