The ballon d or is an annual football award presented by French news magazine France Football is one of the oldest football individual award for footballers. in 1956 the 1st ballon d or was awarded to stanley mattews (black pool player) . After that so many players were awarded the ballon d or . In every year the ballon d or was there for best footballers.In between 2010 and 2015, an agreement was made with FIFA, and the award was temporarily merged with the FIFA World Player of the Year (founded in 1991) and known as the FIFA Ballon d'Or. However, the partnership ended in 2016, and the award reverted to the Ballon d'Or, while FIFA also reverted to its own separate annual award The Best FIFA Men's Player.
Every footballers dream was to get the ballon d or once in the football careers. But most of them was not achieved it. lionel messi was win the ballon D or mostly (6 times) after that cristiano ronaldo (5 times). They were nominated 12 times for this ballon d or. No body has ever achieved such a record in the history of football. Johan cruyf, michel platini, marco van basten, these players won the ballon d or three times each.
The ballon d or has 65 year old. In every year there will be award presentation but last year it did not happen (2020) due to covid pandemic the cut and shortness of the seasons in all over the world clubs. It mostly effected the bayern munich player robert lewandowski he had a such a brilliant season with 49 goals (bundesliga - 34, champions league - 15) and bayern munich also lift the champions league. Most probably lewandowski will be the winner when there is ballon d or (2020) . in the history of the ballon d or it is the 1st time that it has been cancelled.
Even though there are many players still dreaming about it lets hope for the best that they will lift it one day and they will success in their football careers 😊
