The "Ballon
d'Or", literally translated as "the golden ball" and often
referred to as the European Footballer of the Year award, was an annual association football award. It was presented
to the player who has been voted to have performed the best over the previous
calendar year. The award was conceived by
France Football's chief magazine writer Gabriel
Hanot, who asked his colleagues to vote for the player of the year in
Europe in 1956.
Originally, journalists could only vote for European players at
European clubs, meaning that
players who were not Europeans were ineligible for the
award. In 1995, there was a change in the rules to
allow non-European players to be eligible for the award if they played for a
European club. The first non-European to
win after the rule change was Milan's George Weah
in 1995. In
2007, any player in the world became eligible, and the number of journalists
allowed to vote also increased; 96 journalists from around the world chose
their top five players, as opposed to the 52 Europe-based journalists in 2006.
After that, any player become eligible for the
Golden Ball award.
