Preview: Ballon d'Or 2025 ceremony
The hosts have only been able to win a single game against the Pigeons.
Inter Miami are all set to host New York City FC in the MLS 2025 Eastern Conference. In the new season, both sides will be looking to start things on a positive note. Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami finished on top of the Eastern Conference table last season. They had a good regular season in the league as they won 22 games in 34 matches. New York City FC finished sixth in the table.
Inter Miami CF will be at home and will be looking for a win here. Lionel Messi and Co. also emerged victorious in their previous fixture. They had a CONCACAF Champions Cup first-leg match against Sporting KC.
The Herons netted a goal to seal the win. With this, they have the advantage now ahead of the second leg. They will now look to continue their winning momentum in their MLS 2025 opening game.
New York City FC haven’t had the best of the seasons last year, but they never let Lionel Messi and Co. take the upper hand. Their couple of meetings last season ended as a draw. Here New York City FC will be playing away from home. They may not have finished last season very well but they will have a chance to start afresh here.

History
Ballon d'Or 2025 Ceremony Preview
The 69th Ballon d'Or ceremony is set to be a spectacular event, celebrating the best in football from the 2024/25 season. Here's a breakdown of what to expect today:
Top Contenders
The main event, the Men's Ballon d'Or, is widely considered a two-horse race between Ousmane Dembélé of Paris Saint-Germain and Lamine Yamal of Barcelona.
Ousmane Dembélé: The Frenchman is the favorite after a remarkable season where he was a key figure in PSG's historic Champions League triumph and domestic treble. He's been lauded for his influence and goal contributions.
Lamine Yamal: The 18-year-old Spanish sensation has had a breakout season with Barcelona, leading them to a La Liga and Copa del Rey double. His exceptional performances and maturity at such a young age have put him firmly in the conversation.
Other notable names on the shortlist include Mohamed Salah, Kylian Mbappé, and Harry Kane.
In the Women's Ballon d'Or, Aitana Bonmatí is a strong contender to win her third consecutive award, but faces stiff competition from her Barcelona teammates and England's Leah Williamson, Lucy Bronze, and Alessia Russo, who were instrumental in their team's Euro 2025 victory.
New Awards and Categories
This year marks a new era for the Ballon d'Or, with a total of 10 awards set to be presented. In a first-of-its-kind partnership between UEFA and Groupe Amaury, there will be equal awards for both men's and women's football. This includes new women's categories for the Yashin Trophy (best goalkeeper), Kopa Trophy (best young player), and the Gerd Müller Trophy (top scorer).
