Rio Ferdinand Backs Harry Kane for 2026 Ballon d’Or
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has publicly supported England captain Harry Kane as the frontrunner for the 2026 Ballon d’Or. This endorsement came after Kane was awarded the European Golden Shoe for being the top goalscorer in Europe for the second time in his career.
Ferdinand remarked on Kane's remarkable achievement of scoring 73 goals in a season, stating that only Lionel Messi has scored more in a single season. He praised Kane's accomplishments, including being the top scorer for England at the World Cup, and questioned who else could possibly win the prestigious award besides Kane.
The Ballon d’Or award ceremony is scheduled to take place in London on October 26, 2023.
