The 67th annual Ballon d’Or, the prestigious event hosted by France Football magazine, is set to celebrate the zenith of footballing excellence in the 2022-2023 season, highlighting the world’s most exceptional footballers.
Messi was hailed to win a record 8th trophy this year after winning the FIFA World Cup.
A significant departure from convention, this edition marks the second time in its storied history that the award will depend on season results rather than adhere to the conventional calendar year, which begins on August 1, 2022 and ends on July 31, 2023. The list of contenders was unveiled on 6. September 2023, heralding a night of honors not only for male athletes, but also for the Ballon d’Or Féminin, the Kopa Trophy, the Yashin Trophy, the Socrates Award, the Gerd Müller Trophy and the Club of the Year award.
