France Football will award the Ballon d’Or in Paris tonight, memorializing the best player over the last football season with the most prestigious individual honour in the sport.

First awarded in 1956, the Ballon d’Or is both the name of the award presented to the world’s best men’s and women’s footballers, and the annual ceremony that honours standout performers from across the game. Organised by France Football, the event now includes prizes for young players, goalkeepers, coaches, clubs, and humanitarian impact, alongside the prestigious individual trophies.

Alongside the Ballon d’Or and the Ballon d’Or Feminin, awarded to the best women’s player, France Football will also award the Kopa Trophy to the best young player in world football, the Yashin Trophy to the best goalkeeper in world football, and the Gerd Muller Trophy for the highest goalscorer over the last season.
