Ballon d’Or Winner’s List Till 2025

by Susan••0
Ballon d'Or

The Ballon d’Or award is an annual football award for the best player over the previous year. It was first awarded in 1956. The most recent winner is French player Ousmane Dembéle in 2025. Prior to that the award has been dominated by Argentinian Lionel Messi, winning the men’s Ballon d’Or award a record eight times. Cristiano Ronaldo also won the award five times.

Many visitors to this page are looking for the results of the FIFA player of the year, which was merged with the Ballon d’Or between 2010 and 2015 to create the FIFA Ballon d’Or, but is now a separate award.

Since 2018, there has also been a women’s Ballon d’Or award (called the Ballon d’Or Féminin).
