In a post via their X account on Thursday, France Football clarified why this season’s start won’t count.
France Football’s official regulations confirm that the 2026 award assesses performances only from August 3, 2025, to July 19, 2026, including international competitions

The voting already closed last month, with the winner set to be announced on October 26.
