In 2025, Hankook will once again be the official partner of the "Ballon d'Or" award, which is presented annually for achievements in professional football over the previous season and is considered the most prestigious individual global award in this sport. This time, the award ceremony will take place on September 22 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.

The "Ballon d'Or" was first awarded in 1956, and Hankook is partnering with the award for the second year in a row.

"The 'Ballon d'Or' has shaped the history of football and has broad international recognition far beyond the sports world, and our partnership demonstrates Hankook's commitment to innovation and achieving the highest performance - values that we share with international football."
