The award-sharing ceremony Golden Land for 2026 is held tonight, October 26, London, where the winner of the most prestigious individual football award will be discovered.

The ceremony will take place at London Padladium, starting at 9:00 in Spain’s time, while the winner will succeed French Ousmane Dembele, who won the award last year.

Among the top favourites to win this year’s Golden Top are French attacker Kyian Mbppe, England’s Captain Harry Kane and Lamine Yamal.

They come to this race after an extraordinary individual season. Bayern Munich striker scored 73 goals in 65 matches for the club and national, helping the German team win the championship and the cup, while with England reached the World Cup semifinals.

However, the elimination of England in the semifinals of the World can affect the final assessment of the jury.

There is also a contest that had an extraordinary season in terms of individual statistics. The French finished as the best goal scorer in La League, the Champions League and the World Cup, but failed to win trophies with Real Madrid or France’s representative.

The ten goals scored at the World Cup made him the best goalist in the history of this competition, with a total of 22 goals.

Meanwhile, Yamal, who finished second place last year after Dembéléés, remains one of the world’s most controversial names of football. However, an injury to the thigh muscles cut off the season with Barcelona, while in the World Cup Spain distinguished mainly for its collective strength.

The winner’s selection is made by sports journalists from 100 countries ranked in FIFA. Each of them votes for ten football players from the tight list of 30 candidates, given scores in their rankings. The player who collects most points wins the prize.

In addition to sports prestige, the Golden Land can affect footballers’ commercial value as well as bring bonus from their clubs and partners.

This year’s ceremony also marks the first time organised in England in honour of Stanley Matthews, the first winner of the Golden Top, in 1956.
