Note: The election of the European Footballer of the Year is organised by French magazine
France Football. A balot held under football journalists from countries belonging to UEFA is used to decide the winning player, who is then awarded the coveted Ballon d'Or (Golden Ball).
Before 1995 the trophy was available only to European players, but since then non-European footballers playing for an European Club have also become eligible. On this page we present you with an overview of Ballon d'Or winners. Click on a year for complete results per year, or on a player's name for a short profile in our Who is Who of Football History.
