Haaland skips Ballon d'Or ceremony in London

vg.no (Swedish) —

Norwegian striker Erling Braut Haaland will not attend the Ballon d'Or ceremony in London on Monday evening, according to national team media chief Morten Morisbak Skjønsberg. His Instagram posts suggest he is not in England. Haaland is among 30 nominees after a strong season with Manchester City and a notable World Cup performance for Norway. The secret vote is considered more uncertain than usual, with Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, and Lamine Yamal leading the latest odds. Haaland finished second in 2023 behind Lionel Messi and attended in a dark blue tuxedo. Last year, he skipped the Paris ceremony to watch friend Erik Botheim secure the Swedish league title with Malmö.
