This Monday, October 28, the 2024 Ballon d’Or will be awarded, the ceremony taking place at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. This is the highest individual award that a footballer can achieve during his sporting career. This trophy recognizes the best player of the season. To do this, aspects such as their individual performance, the titles achieved in the last year, their role in the most important matches and, ultimately, having been a true reference in this sport are taken into account. Becoming the winner of this award means becoming part of football history and having your name recorded alongside other great legends. A dream that many aspire to, but not all achieve. Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Zinedine Zidane, Alexia Putellas, Aitana Bonmatí, Michel Platini and Johan Cruyff are some of the footballers who have at least one Ballon d’Or in their cabinets. This year there are several players who want to join this prestigious list. We tell you who all the nominees for the 2024 Ballon d’Or are by category. In this 68th edition of the Ballon d’Or, several awards are given, divided into categories: Men’s Ballon d’Or, Women’s Ballon d’Or, Kopa Trophy, Yashin Trophy, Men’s Club of the Year Trophy and Women’s Club of the Year Trophy. In addition, two new trophies have been added in 2024: Men’s Coach of the Year and Women’s Coach of the Year. We tell you which footballers and coaches aspire to win the award.
