Ballon d’Or 2026 : Jay-Jay Okocha donne son favori
With the 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony just weeks away, predictions are rife. Among the favorites for this 70th edition, Kylian Mbappé can count on the support of Jay-Jay Okocha. The former Nigerian international, a 1994 African champion, believes the French striker deserves to win the prestigious individual award.
In an interview with the Journal du Dimanche, the former Paris Saint-Germain star shared his thoughts on what promises to be a particularly close race. Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal, and several other PSG players are also among the serious contenders for the trophy.
Despite this competition, Okocha places Mbappé at the top of his list of favorites. To justify his choice, he highlights the French striker's statistical performances, particularly in major tournaments.
“The suspense is more exciting than ever. There are a good half-dozen contenders: Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, the PSG players… I think Mbappé deserves it for having been the top scorer in the World Cup (10 goals), the Champions League (15) and the Spanish league (25),” explained the former playmaker.
The 70th Ballon d'Or ceremony is scheduled for October 26th in London. With voting now closed, the name of the successor to previous winner Ousmane Dembélé remains highly anticipated. Jay-Jay Okocha believes Mbappé's performances clearly support the French striker's chances of winning the award for the first time.

- Les performances individuelles et le caractère décisif et impressionnant ;
- L'aspect collectif et les trophées remportés ;
- La classe et le fair-play.
Mais Mbappé n'a gagné AUCUN trophé et manque de fair-play en se désignant lui-même méritant.
MBappé mérite le Soulier d'Or pour ses buts.
