French publication France Football has parted ways
with FIFA over the organisation of football’s prominent award, the Ballon d’Or.
“The end of the partnership between France Football and FIFA will lead to a new
look of Ballon d’Or. Ascertain it next Tuesday in FF,” read a news release of
the French publication.
The Ballon d’Or was first introduced in 1956, when
the European Cup (now known as the Champions League) came into existence, to
reward players based on their performances in the previous 12 months on votes
exclusively from journalist in Europe. The FIFA World Player of the Year, on
the other hand, was introduced in 1991 and awarded until 2009 with the winner
decided by votes from national team coaches and captains from all of the
association members. In 2010, the Ballon d’Or and the FIFA World Player of the
Year were fused for the FIFA Ballon d’Or to hand-picked the world’s best player
of the year, based on votes from media, team coaches and captains. Barcelona
star Lionel Messi won the award for record five times, while Cristiano Ronaldo
of real Madrid went for three.
The contract formerly signed by the FIFA and France Football has expired with neither organisation interested in extending it, and the most prestigious individual award will go back to its initial setup.
FIFA’s World Player of the Year prize would hence be returning with President Gianni Infantino and other officials planning a possible replacement ceremony.
