Conçu par l’écrivain sportif Gabriel Hanot , le Ballon d’Or récompense le joueur masculin réputé avoir réalisé la meilleure performance de l’année précédente, sur la base des votes des journalistes de football, de 1956 à 2006. [2] Après 2007, les entraîneurs et capitaines de les équipes nationales ont également obtenu le droit de vote. [2] À l’origine, il n’était décerné qu’aux joueurs européens et largement connu sous le nom de prix du footballeur européen de l’année . En 1995, le Ballon d’Or a été élargi pour inclure tous les joueurs de toute origine qui ont été actifs dans des clubs européens. [3] [4] Le prix est devenu un prix mondial en 2007, tous les footballeurs professionnels du monde entier étant éligibles. [5]

Histoire

L’ Anglais Stanley Matthews a été le premier vainqueur du Ballon d’Or. [6] Avant 2007, le prix était généralement connu sous le nom de footballeur européen continental de l’année en anglais et dans de nombreux médias internationaux. Même après 2007, il était généralement identifié et désigné par ce nom en raison de son origine en tant que récompense européenne, jusqu’à ce qu’il soit fusionné avec le prix du joueur mondial de la FIFA, cimentant sa nouvelle revendication mondiale. [7] [8] [9] [10] George Weah du Libéria , le seul récipiendaire africain, est devenu le premier non-européen à remporter le prix en 1995, l’année où les règles d’éligibilité ont été modifiées pour la première fois. [4] Ronaldodu Brésil est devenu le premier vainqueur sud-américain deux ans plus tard. [4] Le deuxième changement de règle en 2007 pour inclure des joueurs de tous les continents n’a pas apporté de nouveaux gagnants, car tous les destinataires depuis lors ont toujours été exclusivement actifs en Europe pendant leur victoire.

Lionel Messi a remporté le prix un record de sept fois, suivi de Cristiano Ronaldo avec cinq. Trois joueurs ont remporté le prix trois fois chacun : Johan Cruyff , Michel Platini et Marco van Basten . Avec sept récompenses chacun, les joueurs néerlandais, allemands, argentins et portugais ont remporté le plus de Ballons d’Or. Les joueurs d’Allemagne (1972, 1981) et des Pays-Bas (1988) ont été les seuls à remporter les trois premières places en un an, les clubs allemands (1972) et surtout italiens (1988-1990) réalisant le même exploit, dont deux ans uniquement. composée de joueurs de l’ AC Milan (1988, 1989), un record unique jusqu’à ce que les clubs espagnols connaissent une domination imprévue (2009-2012, 2015, 2016) et Barcelone(2010) est devenu le deuxième club avec trois meilleurs joueurs. Deux clubs espagnols, Barcelone et le Real Madrid , sont également en tête du classement employant le plus de vainqueurs, avec douze et onze victoires. [11]

Entre 2010 et 2015 inclus, le prix a été fusionné avec un autre similaire, le prix du joueur mondial de l’année de la FIFA , pour créer le FIFA Ballon d’Or , qui a été décerné au meilleur joueur masculin du monde avant que la FIFA et France Football ne décident de ne pas le faire . poursuivre l’accord de fusion. [12] Après 2011, l’UEFA a créé le prix du meilleur joueur d’Europe de l’UEFA pour maintenir la tradition du Ballon d’Or original d’honorer spécifiquement un joueur de football européen. [13]

Huit joueurs ( Bobby Charlton , Franz Beckenbauer , Gerd Müller , Paolo Rossi , Zinedine Zidane , Rivaldo , Ronaldinho et Kaká ) ont remporté la Coupe du Monde de la FIFA , la Coupe d’Europe / Ligue des champions de l’UEFA et le Ballon d’Or au cours de leur carrière. [14]

Le prix montre un parti pris en faveur des joueurs offensifs, qui a augmenté au cours des dernières décennies. [2] Au fil du temps, le prix est allé à un ensemble plus exclusif de ligues et de clubs. [2] Avant 1995, 10 ligues ont fourni des vainqueurs du Ballon d’Or, alors que seules l’Angleterre, la France, l’Allemagne, l’Italie et l’Espagne ont fourni des vainqueurs depuis 1995. [2] La Liga espagnole compte le plus de vainqueurs du Ballon d’Or. [2] Barcelone et le Real Madrid ont fourni le plus de vainqueurs du Ballon d’Or depuis 1995. [2]

En 2020, le Groupe L’Équipe, auquel appartient France Football, a décidé qu’aucun prix ne serait décerné pour l’année en raison de la pandémie de COVID-19 écourtant les saisons des clubs de football du monde entier. [15]

Additional awards

An honorary award, under the name Super Ballon d’Or, was awarded to Alfredo Di Stéfano in 1989, after he surpassed Johan Cruyff and Michel Platini in France Football‘s voting.[18]

A decade later, France Football elected Pelé the Football Player of the Century after consulting their former Ballon d’Or recipients. Among the 34 previous winners, 30 cast their votes, while Stanley Matthews, Omar Sívori and George Best abstained, and Lev Yashin had died. Each voter was allotted five votes worth up to five points; however, Di Stéfano only chose a first place, Platini a first and second place, and George Weah two players for fifth place. Pelé was named the greatest by 17 voters, receiving almost double the number of points earned by the runner-up, Diego Maradona.[19]

To coincide with the 60th anniversary of the Ballon d’Or in 2016, France Football published a reevaluation of the awards presented before 1995, when only European players were eligible to win the award. 12 out of the 39 Ballons d’Or presented during this time period would have been awarded to South American players; in addition to Pelé and Diego Maradona, Garrincha, Mario Kempes, and Romário were retrospectively recognized as worthy winners. The original recipients, however, remain unchanged.[20]

Maradona and Pelé also received honorary Ballons d’Ors for their services to football in 1995 and 2013, respectively.[21][22]
