On Friday, November 8, 2024, a new event in EA FC 25 has been released. The promo mainly takes place on the weekend of November 8 to 10 and gives you extremely strong loan professionals. On MeinMMO, you can read all the important information about the Ballon d’Or event.
What kind of event is this? The Ballon d’Or event makes its debut in FC 25. It is related to the election of the World Player, which took place on October 28, 2024, in Paris.
