The 2024 Ballon d'Or represents a significant shift in football history. For the first time in over a decade, neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo is among the nominees. This marks the end of an era where these two icons dominated the award, winning it 13 times over 16 years. Messi claimed his eighth and final Ballon d'Or in 2023 after leading Argentina to World Cup glory.

Now, attention turns to fresh contenders like Vinícius Júnior from Real Madrid, who is a favourite following an outstanding season. Other notable candidates include Manchester City's Rodri and Erling Haaland, as well as Jude Bellingham. This change recalls a period before Messi and Ronaldo's dominance when winners varied more frequently, with players like Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldinho taking the honour.

Men's Ballon d'Or 2024 Nominees
The list of nominees for the men's Ballon d'Or 2024 includes several prominent names. Among them are Vinícius Júnior, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Rodri, and Jude Bellingham. These players have shown exceptional skill and performance throughout the season.

Other nominees include Hakan Çalhanoğlu from Türkiye's Inter, Dani Carvajal from Spain's Real Madrid, Rúben Dias from Portugal's Manchester City, and Artem Dovbyk from Ukraine's Dnipro/Girona/Roma. The list continues with Phil Foden from England's Manchester City and Alejandro Grimaldo from Spain's Bayer Leverkusen.

Women's Ballon d'Or 2024 Nominees
The women's category also features a strong lineup of nominees for the Ballon d'Or 2024. Barbra Banda from Zambia (Shanghai RCB/Orlando Pride) is among those recognised for their outstanding contributions to football. Aitana Bonmatí from Spain (Barcelona) and Lucy Bronze from England (Barcelona/Chelsea) are also contenders.

Other notable female nominees include Mariona Caldentey from Spain (Barcelona/Arsenal), Tabitha Chawinga from Malawi (Paris Saint-Germain/Lyon), Grace Geyoro from France (Paris Saint-Germain), and Manuela Giugliano from Italy (Roma). These athletes have demonstrated remarkable talent on the field.

The prestigious Ballon d'Or has been awarded by France Football since 1956 to honour top footballers of the previous season. Journalists worldwide cast votes to rank their top 10 players. Besides the men's award, accolades will be given to the best female player, goalkeeper, coach, and young talent.

Ballon d'Or Ceremony Details

The highly anticipated 2024 Ballon d'Or ceremony will take place on Monday, 28 October (29 October in India). The event will be held at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. It promises to be an exciting evening celebrating football excellence.

The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 1:15 am IST [9:45 pm Central European Time (CET)] on Tuesday, 29 October. Fans can watch it live-streamed on the SonyLIV app or tune in via Sony Sports Network channels for comprehensive coverage of this prestigious event.
