Former Arsenal skipper Thierry Henry has been selected to present the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony alongside Kate Scott, a returning host who has anchored the event on at least three previous occasions.
The ceremony will take place in London, United Kingdom, on Monday, October 26.
Despite his illustrious career, the French football legend never won the prestigious award. He received nine nominations, finishing closest to the prize in 2003 when he came second to Pavel Nedvěd.
The Ballon d’Or is presented to the player who earns the highest number of points from an international jury of journalists.
