Haaland is not a favourite for the Ballon d'Or this year
Published
Tonight the Ballon d'Or will be awarded, one of the most important individual honours in football. Before the prize is announced, three players stand out as the big favourites.
This is a surprise for many football fans in Norway, since none of the three favourites is Erling Braut Haaland. Haaland is one of the world's most well-known players, and he has been a strong candidate before. This time, however, he is not among those seen as certain winners.
The Ballon d'Or is awarded to the best football player in the world. The prize is given by vote, and there are often many factors that influence the result, including the season's performances and the team's success.
Whoever wins, the evening will likely attract great attention in Norway. Many fans are following closely to see whether the favourites get the prize, or whether there will be a surprise.
