Roshun Nominated as Messi Nears Ronaldo
Saudi Pro League stars appear in the initial nominations for the 2026 Ballon d'Or, with the list featuring players from the Saudi national team and Pro League clubs. Leading the nominations are Al-Nassr striker Sadio Mané and Qadsia's Julián Kynonenes, alongside goalkeepers like Yassine Bounou and Édouard Mendy. The winner is expected to be announced at a ceremony in London on October 26, recognizing England legend Stanley Matthews, who won the award for the first time in 1956. Notably, Messi is participating in the nominations for the seventeenth time and remains one of the top contenders, alongside Ronaldo, who is close to his 18th nomination. The list also includes players and coaches from various countries, with a focus on their achievements during the current year, especially since the award now considers performance from August to July, rather than the calendar year.
