Ballon D’or Voting Poll
Ballon D’or is the MOST prestigious individual annual football award presented by French magazine France Football since 1956 to honor the player deemed to have performed the best over the previous season.
The Ballon d’Or is based exclusively on voting by football journalists, in some categories fans, coaches and captains of national teams were also given the right to vote.
The timing was changed so that awards were given not for achievements during a calendar year, but for a football season.
International jury of specialized journalists, with one representative per country, from the top 100 in the latest FIFA Men’s World Ranking would elect the winner of the award after voting.
