The world's most coveted individual football award will be handed out on Monday as the Ballon d'Or takes center stage at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris. One football superstar will see their career elevated to a legendary level, entered into a pantheon of greats from across the decades. Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr.
is considered a likely favorite to claim the award, but there's plenty of competition and it's by no means a foregone conclusion. His new club teammates Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham are also very much in the running, while Rodri and Erling Haaland of Man City are also considered potential candidates. STREAM: Ballon d'Or ceremony 2024 LIVE on Paramount+ (FREE trial) With Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both not amongst the nominees for the first time in decades, this award is considered the start of a new era of the sport looking to crown a new top star.

Last year's winner Aitana Bonmati is amongst the candidates, but has competition from U.
S. star Mallory Swanson and Jamaica striker Khadija Shaw . A win for Swanson would make her the second American award winner after Megan Rapinoe in 2019.
Kepa Trophy The Kepa Trophy is given to the top player in the world under the age of 21. It is open to any player across the world, unlike the UEFA-specific Golden Boy award. It's considered a virtual certainty that 17-year-old Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal is a shoo-in for this year's award, and he is likely to be a frontrunner in coming years too.
Still, the likes of Kobbie Mainoo , Arda Guler , and Pau Cubarsi will all be considered challengers in future years. Yashin Trophy Given to the best goalkeeper in the world, last year's winner Emiliano Martinez is thought likely to become the first-ever two-time winner of the Yashin Trophy. Unai Simon and Giorgi Mamardashvili had excellent seasons, but Dibu is considered the best goalkeeper in the world and had a season worthy enough to prove it.
Gerd Muller Trophy The Gerd Muller trophy is given to the best forward in the world over the course of a season. Unlike other trophies in this presentation, this award is not given out after a vote, but instead is handed to the top goal scorer for the year. Established in 2021, Robert Lewandowski won the first two editions before Erling Haaland took home the trophy a year ago.
The winner won't be announced until the ceremony, but it's expected that Cristiano Ronaldo will be the victory, although Harry Kane and Haaland could be in the running. Socrates Award The Socrates Award is presented to the footballer whose humanitarian contributions are worthy of recognition. This year's nominees are Vinicius Jr for his work helping underprivileged Brazilian children get access to education, Antonio Rudiger for his charitable work in Sierra Leone, Alex Morgan for her efforts in the fight for equal pay, Asisat Oshoala for founding the Oshoala Academy in Nigeria, and Marcus Rashford for his work fighting childhood hunger in the UK.
Club of the Year Award The Club of the Year award is given to the team which has the most exemplary season, whether it be overall results or results compared to expectations. This year's nominees are Borussia Dortmund , Girona , Bayer Leverkusen , Man City , and Real Madrid . While Real Madrid had the best overall season in terms of final trophies, having won the La Liga and Champions League double, there's a push for Bayer Leverkusen to be the winner after an unbeaten domestic season, winning the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal, while reaching the Europa League final as well.
Coach of the Year Award (men's/women's) A Coach of the Year award will be given out to both a men's and women's winner. On the men's side, the nominees are Xabi Alonso (Bayer Leverkusen), Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid), Luis de la Fuente (Spain), Gian Piero Gasperini (Atalanta), Pep Guardiola (Man City), and Lionel Scaloni (Argentina). There are a number of worthy winners in here, but like the club award, there's a push for Xabi Alonso to win for his exemplary work at Bayer Leverkusen.
For the women, the nominees are Sonia Bompastor (Lyon/Chelsea), Arthur Elias (Brazil), Jonatan Giraldez (Barcelona/Washington Spirit), Emma Hayes (Chelsea/USA), Filipa Patao (Benfica), and Sarina Wiegman (England). Hayes is a strong candidate having won the Women's Super League with Chelsea and then the Olympics with the United States, but there are a number of potential winners amongst this group.
