The carrier channel and the golden ball’s release date
The attention of football fans from all over the world is directed towards the Shatle theater in the French capital “Paris” at nine in the evening, to follow the delivery ceremony for the Golden Ball Award for the best player in the world and other awards, presented by “France Football” annually, and the On Sport channels network announced obtaining Party broadcast rights.
The Golden Ball’s worth in money
The value of the Golden Ball Award itself, according to a prior estimate by the Spanish newspaper “AS,” is just over three thousand euros. As for the material award accompanying the award, the newspaper said that the best player in the world receives 20 thousand dollars.
According to numerous media and press reports, Karim Benzema, a Frenchman, will be the most fortunate to win the award this time due to the outstanding season he had with Real Madrid last year, the team’s victory in the Spanish League and Champions League, and his leadership of the team on the list of scorers in the two competitions.
The Golden Ball Award for the best player in the world, the “Cuba” award for the best young player, and the “Yashin” award for the best goalie are all presented during this ceremony, although the award for the best player in the world always receives the most of the attention and spotlights.
Additionally, for the first time since the award’s inception, the evaluation will not be based on the players’ performances and accomplishments during the course of the evaluation year, but rather on what they demonstrated during the last football season of 2021–2022.
The Argentine superstar Lionel Messi’s absence from the list of contenders this year marks a significant surprise for the prize, especially given that he was first chosen for the list of candidates in the 2026 edition.
Only Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the Golden Ball five times in 2017, came close to Messi’s record of seven victories last year. Messi set an exciting record for most victories in his football career to date.
