France Football launched Women’s Ballon d’Or
the most prestigious individual trophy in soccer Women’s Ballon d’Or will be awarded for the first time this year.
Awarded every year by France Football magazine since Stanley Matthews won it in 1956, the Ballon d’Or for the best player of the year will be given to both a woman and a man on Dec. 3 in Paris.
France Football will make an official announcement in Tuesday’s edition of the magazine.
A list of 15 nominees for the prize will be announced on Oct. 8 alongside the 30-man selection.
The players will be selected by France Football and a panel of international journalists specialized in women’s soccer will vote on a winner.
The Ballon d’Or merged with the FIFA World Player of the Year award from 2010-15, but the magazine and soccer’s governing body split two years ago.
FIFA also awards a trophy to the best women’s player.
France Football is also launching a new award for the best young player of the year, the Kopa trophy, named after the late Raymond Kopa.
The former Real Madrid attacking midfielder who became the first French player to win the Ballon d’Or back in 1958 died last year at 85.
Only former winners will be entitled to choose the winner from a list of 10 under-21 players.
The award ceremony will be broadcast live in more than 120 countries.
