Ballon d’Or Winner’s List

The Ballon d’Or, initiated in 1956, annually honors the outstanding football player of the previous year. The most recent recipient, in 2023, was Argentina’s Lionel Messi, who holds a record eight men’s Ballon d’Or wins. Cristiano Ronaldo trails with five victories.

It’s worth noting that the FIFA Player of the Year merged with the Ballon d’Or from 2010 to 2015, forming the FIFA Ballon d’Or. However, since 2018, they have been distinct awards.

Furthermore, a women’s Ballon d’Or, known as the Ballon d’Or Féminin, has been presented since 2018.
