In 2024, it was the 68th time this super cool award was given out. It’s all about celebrating the players who scored the most goals, made the best passes, and showed incredible skill!

This amazing award started a long, long time ago, way back in 1956! It was created by a magazine called France Football to honor the best player in Europe. Over the years, it became so popular that it started recognizing players from all over the world.

The 2024 award was special because it looked at the players' amazing moves from August 2023 to July 2024. That’s a whole year of incredible soccer!

The Ballon d'Or is a HUGE deal in the soccer world. Winning it means you are officially one of the best players on the planet! It’s like being the captain of the world’s dream team. It also helps us see who the rising stars are and who the legends are. For the 2024 award, they even added new prizes for the best coaches, because coaches are super important for helping teams win!

Picking the winners is like a big voting party for soccer experts! Journalists from all around the world get to vote for the players they think deserve the award the most. They look at everything a player did during the season – all the goals, assists, and how well they played in big games.

For 2024, the voting happened, and the big ceremony where they announce the winners was on October 28th. It’s a night full of excitement and cheers!
