On October 29, 2024, before the Ballon d’Or ceremony, Real Madrid suddenly canceled a trip for 50 people. According to Spanish journalists, this move was not communicated to the Ballon d’Or organizers, who only learned of it through media reports. This created significant challenges for the many activities planned for the ceremony.
At this year’s Ballon d’Or ceremony, Real Madrid was named the Best Club of 2024, and Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, was named the Best Coach of 2024. However, no one from the club attended to receive these awards.
Since the end of the Ballon d’Or ceremony, Real Madrid’s official social media has not posted any content related to the event, nor have they congratulated the winners and nominees.
Luo Ming, a Ballon d’Or judge in China, commented, “For an awards ceremony, such a boycott by an entire club is quite rare.”
