McTominay Among Nominees for Ballon d'Or Award

On Thursday, August 7, 2025, the Ballon d'Or organisers confirmed the nomination list and sports journalist Sam C revealed that Scott McTominay has been nominated for the 2025 Ballon d'Or.
Leaving Manchester United, McTominay completed a move to Napoli in a £25.7 million deal and claimed the Serie A Player of the Season award in his maiden campaign.
In the 2024/25 season, McTominay recorded 13 goals and six assists in 39 appearances, helping Antonio Conte's side to the title, according to Sam C.
A voting panel will decide the winner before the ceremony at the Theatre du Châtelet in Paris on September 22, 2025, among 30 players nominated for the award.
From being deemed surplus at Manchester United, McTominay’s rise to legend status in Italy required a change of scenery and manager.
