The Ballon d’Or 2025 won’t just be about football and awards — it will also feature a historic moment for Latin music. On September 22, Colombian singer Blessd will become the first Latin artist to perform at the world’s most prestigious football ceremony.

Where Will the Performance Take Place?

The stage will be the iconic Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, where Blessd will open the gala with his anthem “Condenado al Éxito II.” The event will host more than 2,000 guests, including the biggest names in world football, and will be broadcast live worldwide.

What Does This Moment Mean for Blessd?

The Colombian artist described his performance as both a dream come true and a cultural statement.
“Music and football are bridges that unite us. Representing Latinos, my country, and all the dreamers at the Ballon d’Or is not just an honor — it’s a dream fulfilled,” Blessd said.

Why Is It a Cultural Milestone?

This performance marks the intersection of two global universes: sport and music. For Blessd, it’s not just a show, but the consolidation of his cultural influence. Beyond his music career, the Colombian is also co-owner of Danish club Vendsyssel FF and Spanish side Conquense, showing how he merges his two passions: football and music.
