Background

Organized by France Football in co-operation with UEFA, the Ballon d'Or rewards the top footballer based on individual performance, collective achievements/titles, and fair play across the evaluation window.

The award is decided by an international jury of specialized journalists, consisting of one representative from each of the top 100 nations in the FIFA Men's World Ranking. Each juror ranks their top 10 nominees from a 30-player shortlist, with points allocated on a 15-12-10-8-7-5-4-3-2-1 scale.
