Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has reportedly hired a private jet to travel to London for the 2026 Ballon d’Or awards ceremony, scheduled to take place on Monday, October 26, at the London Palladium in the United Kingdom.
According to reports, Yamal is expected to travel with members of his close circle to attend the prestigious event, which brings together some of the biggest names in world football.
Yamal has also reportedly prepared a special celebration in Paris in case he wins this year’s Ballon d’Or. The preparations have increased excitement among fans eager to discover whether the young Barcelona star will claim one of football’s most prestigious individual awards.
This year’s ceremony is particularly significant as it marks the 70th edition of the awards since their establishment in 1956. For the first time in the history of the ceremony, the event will be held in London rather than Paris.
Yamal is among the players competing for the award after continuing to impress with Barcelona and the Spanish national team. However, preparations for a possible celebration do not mean he has already won, as the official result will be announced during the ceremony.
Football fans are eagerly awaiting October 26 to discover who will claim the prestigious award and whether Yamal will make history at such a young age.
