Usman Dembele has found a “glamorous” place in the books of football history since Monday night (22.09.2025), conquering it “Golden ball“For 2025.
Now, the question arises is the next player who will be able to impress inside the pitch and – with the titles that will accompany his matches – will lift the next golden ball. Artificial Intelligence (AI) was recruited to predict the next six winners of the “Holy Grail” until 2031.
For 2026, AI predicts that Real Madrid’s Kilian Ebabe will be a winner, for the first time in his career, to do something similar in 2027 Erling Haland.
The four years 2028-2031 seems to have two protagonists. The Golden Ball will be monopolized by Judd Beligham (2028 and 2029) and Lamin Yamal (2030 and 2031).
This year’s finalist seems to be late to hold the Golden Ball in his hands, but he will be able to celebrate!
