SEE FULL LIST: 20 African countries to vote for 2026 Ballon d’Or

Published

on

Twenty African nations are eligible to vote for the 2026 Ballon d’Or after making the top 100 of the FIFA men’s world ranking used to determine the award’s international jury.

France Football, which organises the award, said the men’s Ballon d’Or is decided by an international jury of specialised journalists, with one representative from each of the 100 highest-ranked nations in the FIFA men’s world ranking.

The 2026 regulations state that the FIFA ranking in effect when the voting lists were published on September 8 was used to determine the jury.

Each journalist will select and rank 10 players from the 30 Ballon d’Or nominees.

The first-ranked player receives 15 points, followed by 12, 10, eight, seven, five, four, three, two and one point for the 10th choice.

The 20 African nations represented in the 100-country jury are:

  1. Morocco — 6th in FIFA ranking
  2. Senegal — 18th
  3. Egypt — 24th
  4. Nigeria — 26th
  5. Algeria — 29th
  6. Côte d’Ivoire — 31st
  7. DR Congo — 41st
  8. Cameroon — 43rd
  9. Mali — 53rd
  10. South Africa — 54th
  11. Tunisia — 57th
  12. Burkina Faso — 62nd
  13. Cabo Verde — 64th
  14. Ghana — 65th
  15. Guinea — 81st
  16. Gabon — 84th
  17. Angola — 87th
  18. Uganda — 89th
  19. Zambia — 90th
  20. Benin — 94th

The other 80 countries in the top 100 are from Europe, Asia, North America, South America and Oceania.

Prominent Journalists Heading the African Jury

France Football maintains data privacy for the complete individual roster until full voting charts are published post-ceremony. However, among the African journalists who have been publicly identified as Ballon d’Or voters are:

  • Nigeria: Samm Audu (Representing Nigeria via Score Nigeria).
  • Ghana: Michael Oti Adjei (Celebrated sports broadcaster and head of sports at Media General, executing Ghana’s ballot).
  • Egypt: Inas Mazhar (Veteran journalist, former CAF Media Officer, and longstanding vote holder for the Pharaohs).
  • South Africa: Mark Gleeson (Highly respected African football commentator, analyst, and statistician representing Bafana Bafana).
  • Morocco: Mustapha Badri (Renowned editor and director of the prominent Moroccan sports publication Al Mountakhab)

The Ballon d’Or ceremony will take place in London on October 26, when the winner of the men’s award will be announced.

The award covers performances during the 2025-26 season, including domestic and international competitions.

France Football said the reference period ran from August 3, 2025, to July 19, 2026, including the 2026 World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations for the men’s award.

Rice, Palmer, Rashford among five England stars ruled out vs Spain

Published

on

England have been hit by five withdrawals ahead of their opening UEFA Nations League fixture against Spain at Wembley on Saturday.

Declan Rice, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Tino Livramento have all withdrawn from Thomas Tuchel’s squad because of respective injury issues, the Football Association confirmed.

PUNCH Online on Wednesday reported that the confirmation was also noted on the English FA website late Monday.

The quintet were initially named in Tuchel’s 27-man squad for the extended international window, but their withdrawals have forced the England manager to make changes before the Three Lions begin their campaign.

Here are the five players who will miss the upcoming fixtures:

1. Declan Rice

Arsenal midfielder Rice is one of the most experienced players affected by the withdrawals.

The 27-year-old was part of England’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and was included in Tuchel’s latest selection for the Nations League campaign.

His absence leaves England without one of their key midfield options for the opening fixtures.

2. Cole Palmer

Chelsea forward Palmer was also ruled out after returning to the England squad for the first time since the World Cup.

Tuchel had spoken positively about Palmer’s importance to the team before the latest injury setback.

The England manager said Palmer would need to “step up” when he returned and produce the performances required to retain his place.

3. Marcus Rashford

Rashford, who joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United, is another major absentee.

The forward was part of England’s World Cup squad and had been selected by Tuchel for the new Nations League campaign before withdrawing through injury.

4. Kobbie Mainoo

Manchester United midfielder Mainoo has also pulled out.

Tuchel had specifically praised the 21-year-old after the World Cup, saying: “I expect him to be on the pitch and it’s my duty to get him on the pitch.”

The German added: “He didn’t put a foot wrong during the World Cup.”

Mainoo was unable to feature in England’s World Cup campaign as much as Tuchel had hoped after an injury before the France match.

5. Tino Livramento

Newcastle United defender Livramento completes the five-man list.

He was part of England’s initial squad for the Nations League window but has since been ruled out with an injury.

Livramento also missed part of England’s World Cup campaign after suffering a calf injury in training before being replaced by Trevoh Chalobah.

Two replacements called up

Tuchel has responded to the withdrawals by calling up Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White and Everton midfielder James Garner.

The pair were due to report to St George’s Park on Tuesday with the rest of the squad. Garner has two senior caps, while Gibbs-White has six.

England will host Spain at Wembley on Saturday, September 26, in their first match of the 2026-27 Nations League campaign.

The Three Lions will then face Czechia twice, either side of a trip to Croatia, during the extended international window.

Full house as Eagles begin training for Madagascar clash

Published

on

The Super Eagles on Tuesday began preparations for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying opener against Madagascar,  with 23 players taking part in their first training session at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, The PUNCH reports.

Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye is the last player expected in camp, with the rest of the squad already slugging it out for shirts under the guidance of head coach Eric Chelle and his assistants ahead of Friday’s clash with the Barea.

Chelle named 24 players for Nigeria’s opening qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau, with the Super Eagles hosting the Barea in Uyo on Friday before travelling to Bissau for Tuesday’s encounter with the Wild Dogs.

Although the team’s camp officially opened on Monday, most of the players arrived on Tuesday ahead of the evening training session.

The early arrivals included Paris FC forward Moses Simon, Venezia striker Akor Adams, Coventry City forward Taiwo Awoniyi, first-time invitees Isaac James, Moses Usor and George Ilenikhena, as well as Emmanuel Fernandez, Benjamin Fredrick, Arthur Okonkwo and Chibuike Nwaiwu.

Alex Iwobi, Semi Ajayi, Calvin Bassey, returning defender Ola Aina, Ademola Lookman, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Tolu Arokodare, Bruno Onyemaechi, Raphael Onyedika and Frank Onyeka were also among those in camp.

Captain Wilfred Ndidi, Samuel Chukwueze and goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali subsequently joined the group before the training session, leaving Okoye as the final expected arrival.

Friday’s fixture marks the beginning of a new AFCON qualifying campaign under Chelle, with Nigeria drawn in Group L alongside Madagascar, Tanzania and Guinea-Bissau.

Because Tanzania are one of the three co-hosts of the 2027 tournament, they are automatically qualified, meaning only the highest-ranked team among the remaining sides in Group L will secure the group’s qualifying ticket.

The Super Eagles will be without Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen for the opening fixtures after he withdrew from the squad to continue his recovery from injury.

Awoniyi was recalled to the team, while Tolu Arokodare, Akor Adams and George Ilenikhena provide further options in attack.

Nigeria will be looking to build on their bronze-medal finish at the 2025 AFCON in Morocco as they begin their bid to return to the continental finals in 2027.

After Friday’s clash with Madagascar, Nigeria will travel to Guinea-Bissau for their second Group L fixture on September 29.
