The Ballon d'Or is an annual football award presented by France Football magazine. It is considered one of the most prestigious individual awards in football, and it has been awarded since 1956. The Ballon d'Or is awarded to the best football player in the world, as voted on by a panel of international journalists.
The criteria for the award include a player's individual performances and achievements, as well as their team's success. In addition to the Ballon d'Or, there are also several other individual awards that are presented, such as the Women's Ballon d'Or, the Kopa Trophy for the best under-21 player, and the Yachine Trophy for the best goalkeeper.
The winner of the Ballon d'Or is usually announced in December, and the award ceremony is typically held in Paris, France. Some of the most notable past winners of the Ballon d'Or include Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Michel Platini, Johan Cruyff, and Marco van Basten.
