Actu Foot reported, citing The Guardian, that France Football had opened an investigation and contacted the police after suspicious betting was observed on the Ballon d'Or 2026. According to the report, 12 Polymarket accounts had wagered over $264,000 on a scenario that exactly matched the final top 5: Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, Rodri, and Lionel Messi. These bets would have returned nearly $200,000, while a possible leak of the ranking before the ceremony was part of the suspicions, Actu Foot added. #BallonDor #ParisSportifs #Enquête (translated)
