Ballon d’Or: Footballer can win award without winning single trophy – Organisers clarify


The organizers of the Ballon d’Or have announced that a footballer can receive the prestigious award even if they do not secure a trophy with their clubs or country.


They said that the individual player’s performance on the field holds greater significance than the trophies won by the team.


In a statement released by the Ballon d’Or, they enumerated the players who have achieved the Ballon d’Or despite not winning a trophy during the season.


However, such occurrences are rare, with only six players accomplishing this feat throughout history.


“Stanley Matthews, the inaugural Ballon d’Or recipient in 1956, was the first to win the award without having secured a team title in the calendar year (the Ballon d’Or has been awarded based on the sporting season since 2022).


“Denis Law equaled this achievement in 1964, followed by Gerd Müller in 1970. The German striker netted 10 goals in that year’s World Cup, yet his team finished in third place.


“Kevin Keegan in 1978 and Luis Figo in 2000 also succeeded in winning this prestigious individual accolade despite a season devoid of trophies. The most recent player to achieve this was Cristiano Ronaldo in 2013, marking 11 editions since this last occurred.”


Currently, the leading contenders for this year’s prestigious award, without a team trophy to their name this season, are Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.
