Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal charters a private jet to travel to London for the 2026 Ballon d’Or ceremony scheduled for Monday. Multiple outlets say the trip includes Yamal’s family and close friends as he attends the event ahead of the individual prize.
The reports frame the move as part of Yamal’s personal preparations for the ceremony. One outlet also adds a detail about logistics, saying he will not be joining Barcelona’s official delegation for the trip, citing a quoted football expert from Barca News. Other coverage focuses more generally on the charter and who will travel with him.
Across the sources provided, the core facts align closely: the ceremony is in London, it is for 2026 Ballon d’Or, and Yamal’s private travel plans include his close circle rather than framing it as an official club trip.
