From next season the Golden Ball… changes. After the controversy in the results for 2021, with Lionel Messi winning the award in front of Robert Lewandowski, the officials decided to proceed to significant incisions.
From now on the award will not be based on a player’s achievements in a calendar year (starting on January 1st and ending on December 31st), but a specific season (lasting from autumn to summer).
At the same time, a player’s participation in winning trophies will count more compared to his individual performance and numbers, while his overall career will not be counted, except for what he achieved in the previous season.
The changes will be published in France Footballunder the auspices of which the award has been given since 1956, in the issue that circulates on Saturday.
The next Golden Ball award ceremony is scheduled to take place in September or October 2022that is, earlier than the Qatar World Cup, with the result that the votes concern the actions of the footballers in the previous season (2021/22).
At the same time, Didier Drogba will be included in the committee that will select the candidates for the final list for the award, while the σώμα electorate will be limited. Of the 170 journalists who have had the right to vote so far, now voters will be limited to 100.
