The competition was first known as the World Player of the Year award, before it was rebranded to the FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2010.

Since 2004, the voting process has been based on a shortlist of 35 players produced by FIFA, from which team captains, national team managers and select journalists vote for the winner.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have dominated the award over the past 10 years, but they are not the only players to have won the Golden Ball more than once.
