French France Football changed the format of awarding the best football player with Ballon d'Or.
The popular magazine ended its association with FIFA several weeks ago and decided to thereafter hand out the Ballon d’Or without intervention of the mentioned institution.
Thus, this year’s shortlist of finalists for Ballon d’Or will increase from 23 to 30 names, and they will no longer announce the three finalists before presenting the award. Everything will be revealed only during the award ceremony.
The name of the winner will be revealed not in January as previously, but in December, before the end of the calendar year.
