Ballon d'Or: List of all winners from Stanley Matthews to Rodri
Lionel Messi is the only player to win the award in four successive years.
The best performer from the top five European leagues from the previous year receives the Ballon d’Or award each year. The first one was given out in 1956. Lionel Messi of Inter Miami is the most recent winner in 2024. Cristiano Ronaldo has won the men’s Ballon d’Or award five times, while Lionel Messi holds the record of winning the trophy eight times in total.
The FIFA Player of the Year results, which were combined with the Ballon d’Or between 2009 and 2015 to produce the FIFA Ballon d’Or, are of great interest to many people.
A Ballon d’Or for women has been given out since 2018 under the name Ballon d’Or Féminin. Here is the full list of the men’s Ballon d’Or winners in history:
