Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player – What’s the difference?

The Ballon d’Or, traditionally awarded by the French specialist magazine “France Football”, is an older award, although non-Europeans have only been able to vote since 1995. FIFA World Players has been around since 1991. Between 2010 and 2015, “France Football” and FIFA collaborated and jointly awarded the “FIFA Ballon d’Or”. Since then both have gone their separate ways. (more details here), The Ballon d’Or, which evaluates achievements and overall career in the calendar year, is still considered slightly more prestigious. Lionel Messi won it again in 2021.

How will FIFA World Player 2021 be voted on?

All current coaches and captains of the men’s national teams, a media representative from each association and fans registered on the FIFA website have the right to vote. You choose from a shortlist of eleven candidates who, according to FIFA, have formed the “Committee of Men’s Football Experts”. In each of the four jury groups, a ranking is established after points have been awarded to qualified voters and points are awarded accordingly (eg 13 points for the best in a jury group of captains). Whoever collects the most of these points will become the FIFA World Player.
