Story updated
The story in brief
8-second readThe nominees from Manchester City at the 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony in London on Monday have now received their final results for the Men's award and the Kopa Trophy.
From the source
Following another stellar 2026 for Manchester City and particularly Norway at the FIFA World Cup in North America, Erling Haaland has been recognised at the 2026 Ballon d'Or awards - his sixth nomination for the main Men's award at the ceremony to date.
Elsewhere, following his performances for Manchester City and Spain, as well as Barcelona having joined the La Liga giants during the summer transfer window, Rodri was also nominated for the award following his previous success in winning the prize in 2024.
And in recognition of football's younger talents, City's summer recruit from LOSC Lille and a star of the Moroccan national team, Ayyoub Bouaddi, also saw his name placed amongst the very best rising stars in world football.
