When Is The Ballon d'Or 2024? Real Madrid Forward Vinicius Jr. Leads Nominees
The 2024 Ballon d'Or will be the 68th annual ceremony presented by France Football to the best footballer in the world from the 2023-24 season. This will be the third time it's been awarded based on a player's season results rather than a calendar year.
Real Madrid and Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr. is the favorite to lift the award, but has other would-be contenders alongside several Los Blancos teammates. Will it be the fifth Real Madrid player in the last ten years to lift the prestigious award?
