British journalist Kate Scott will host the Ballon d'Or ceremony for the fourth time, alongside Thierry Henry.
The Ballon d'Or ceremony returns to the spotlight with a presenter the public already knows well. British journalist Kate Scott is set to take the reins of the evening on Monday, October 26, for a fourth consecutive edition. She will share the stage with former French striker Thierry Henry, whose presence gives the event a strong footballing dimension.
A football specialist, Kate Scott has established herself over the years as one of the most recognised voices in sports broadcasting on British television. Her career has led her to cover major competitions and host programmes devoted to the beautiful game, where she has stood out for her direct style and sound knowledge of the sport. This experience no doubt explains her loyalty to an event as closely watched as the presentation of the most prestigious individual trophy in football.
The choice of presenter is no accident for the organisers. Hosting a ceremony of this scale demands a sustained pace, the ability to link very different segments and to address an international audience. On that front, Kate Scott has already shown her capacity to handle live airtime and unforeseen moments, a valued asset in a programme where announcements are meticulously prepared.
Manchester United supporters also know of her attachment to the Mancunian club. A declared fan, she has never hidden her affection for the Red Devils, a facet of her personality that regularly fuels the interest of the media and fans alike. This closeness to the football world lends her credibility with observers and viewers alike.
With Thierry Henry at her side, the presenter will have the task of bringing to life an evening awaited by the entire football world. The nominees' names, the awards and the highlights of the ceremony will be at the heart of the show, in a format that blends tradition and renewal.
