Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has been appointed as the ambassador for the upcoming Ballon d’Or ceremony. Known for his outstanding performances on the field, Drogba is equally recognized for his impactful humanitarian work in Ivory Coast and worldwide.

As the 64th Ballon d’Or event approaches on December 2nd, Drogba will take on the role of emcee during the prestigious ceremony.

Expressing his pride in being chosen as an ambassador, Drogba highlighted the significance of the trophy and his enthusiasm for being part of the celebration.

Transitioning from the football pitch to the stage presents a new challenge for Drogba, who admits that hosting the evening will be more daunting than playing in front of thousands of spectators. However, with a supportive team by his side, he feels confident and eagerly looks forward to the start of rehearsals.
