Everything You Need To Know About The 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony

The Ballon d’Or is one of the most prestigious individual football awards that can be won by a soccer player each year. Established in 1956, France Football’s famous Golden Ball accolade has returned for the 68th year in 2024.

It has been won by the greatest players of all time, with Cristian Ronaldo and Lionel Messi memorably trading the trophy for over 10 years, but the scene has opened up for a new generation of legends. Icons from the game will be present at the ceremony with plenty of glitz and glamour expected.

How are the award winners decided?

The different awards are decided in different ways, with a mix of journalists and ex-players helping to choose the most worthy winners.

Men’s Ballon d’Or

A panel of journalists from the top 100 football nations, per the FIFA rankings, vote on the men’s Ballon d’Or award. Each nation has one journalist representative who votes on the international ballot.

Women’s Ballon d’Or

Like the men’s Ballon d’Or award, the Ballon d’Or Feminin is decided by an international panel of journalists. However, it is a panel of 50 – one journalist from each of the top 50 nations.

Kopa Trophy

The winner of the Kopa trophy is decided by a jury of Ballon d’Or winners.

Yashin Trophy

The Yashin Trophy winner is decided in the same way as the men’s Ballon d’Or, by a panel of 100 journalists.
