When is the Ballon d'Or 2024 Gala?
The Ballon d'Or, the prestigious annual award recognizing the best male and female footballers in the world, is a highly anticipated event in the football calendar. While the exact date for the 2024 ceremony hasn't been officially announced, we can make some educated guesses based on past years' trends.
Ballon d'Or History: A Look Back
The Ballon d'Or, which translates to "Golden Ball," has been awarded since 1956, with a few exceptions. In recent years, the ceremony has generally taken place in October or November.
Here's a quick look at the past few years' dates:
- 2022: October 17th
- 2021: November 29th
- 2020: December 17th (delayed due to COVID-19)
While there have been some changes in the date, the ceremony generally occurs towards the end of the calendar year. This allows for a full season's performances to be considered and for the voting process to be completed.
Predicting the 2024 Ballon d'Or Gala Date
Based on the past few years' trends, it's reasonable to expect the Ballon d'Or 2024 gala to take place sometime in late October or November. The exact date will likely be announced by France Football, the organizers of the awards, a few months prior to the event.
