Ballon d'Or 2025: Patrice Motsepe backs Mohamed Salah

Who will succeed Rodri for the 2025 Ballon d'Or title? This question is frequently asked among football experts. For the CAF president, only one name comes to mind in this context, and that is none other than Mohamed Salah. The African football chief believes that the Egyptian star is highly deserving of winning this trophy this year.

"In my view, Mohamed Salah 100% deserves the Ballon d'Or. He is a fantastic player, and he makes us all extremely proud in Africa," said Patrice Motsepe in an interview with On Time Sports. Mohamed Salah is among the players with the best statistics this season. He is currently the top scorer and leading assist provider in the Premier League and is on the verge of winning the Premier League with FC Liverpool.
