The Ballon d'Or 2024 nominations are here, and there's a surprise! Find out who's in and who's out this year!

The football world just got hit by a thunderbolt with the unveiling of the Ballon d'Or 2024 nominees! Love it or loathe it, this award is every footballer's dream. After an exhilarating 2023-24 season, the nominees list is buzzing with names that have graced both the pitch and the headlines. Stars like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., and, wait for it... Nigeria's very own Ademola Lookman made the cut! That's right, Lookman's stunning hat-trick in the Europa League final for Atalanta has propelled him into the limelight, placing him alongside some of the world's best.

The excitement doesn’t stop there! Notably, the Ballon d'Or 2024 will not feature two of football's giants: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. This is the first time in over 20 years that fans won't see their names in contention for the coveted golden ball. While Messi, the reigning champion and an eight-time winner, is sidelined, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland have stepped up to carry the torch, representing a new generation of football superstars.

Furthermore, the nominees for the Women's Ballon d'Or are heating up! Aitana Bonmati, aiming to defend her title, competes against formidable talent on the global stage. With the gala set to take place on October 28 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, all eyes are on who will snag the top honors this year. The nominations highlight the growth of female talent in football, making it an exciting time for fans of the sport.

So, what does Adele Lookman’s nomination mean for Nigerian football? It’s a signal of hope for the future stars of African football, indicating that the continent continues to produce top-tier talent. As Lookman aims to follow in the footsteps of Victor Osimhen, the football community in Nigeria can’t help but swell with pride. Plus, did you know that since its inception in 1956, the Ballon d'Or has highlighted the evolution of football and its players, showcasing the rise of both women and men in this beloved sport? Here's hoping that the next gala shines a spotlight on Nigeria’s burgeoning star!
