2024 Ballon d’Or Champions Revealed: Complete Results and Award Recipients

The 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony was held in Paris on October 28 to honour the finest players, coaches and teams in the professional game over the past season.

Vinicius Junior and Aitana Bonmati were the favourites for the most illustrious prizes, with Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso and Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal also tipped for success.

This year’s Ballon d’Or marked the first time in two decades that neither Lionel Messi, who claimed the men’s trophy last year, nor Cristiano Ronaldo were among the nominees. It means something of a new era in global soccer is dawning, and with it, perhaps the crowning of a first-time winner of the top individual award in the sport.

The Jugo Mobile will detail the winners and final rankings as they are announced throughout the ceremony.

Who won Ballon d’Or 2024? Final results

The winners of the men’s and women’s Ballon d’Or awards will be confirmed at Monday’s ceremony in Paris, France.

We should know which players have won the prizes by approximately 10:15 p.m. local time (CET). The Jugo Mobile will update this page with the final rankings for 2024 once they are known.

The 2023 men’s trophy was won by Lionel Messi, with Aitana Bonmati claiming the women’s.

Who won the Gerd Muller Trophy? 

The Gerd Muller Trophy is awarded to the best goal-scorer of the past season among players who are based in Europe.

Last year, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland claimed the prize. In 2024, it is set to be won by either Kylian Mbappe or Harry Kane, although organisers told The Jugo Mobile that we will need to wait until the official announcement to find out which player has been successful.

Who won the Yashin Trophy for best goalkeeper?

The Yashin Trophy goes to the best male goalkeeper of the past season. The winner will be announced at Monday’s gala.

Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa won the Yashin Trophy in 2023 for his instrumental role in guiding Argentina to World Cup victory.

Who won the Kopa Trophy for world’s best young player?

Lamine Yamal won the 2024 Kopa Trophy. The Barcelona star was selected ahead of Kobbie Mainoo, Savinho, Arda Guler and club team-mate Pau Cubarsi by a panel of former Ballon d’Or winners.

Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham won the award for the world’s best player under 21 last year.

Who won the Socrates Award?

The Socrates Award is used to recognise humanitarian work carried out by professionals in the game.

Vinicius Junior won this award in 2023 as he received recognition for his foundation, the Vini Jr Institute, which uses technology to provide education to disadvantaged children in Brazil.

In 2022, he allocated €335,000 to the foundation, a figure that increased to over €1 million in 2023, and is set to reach €2.5 million in 2024.

Co-host of the awards night Didier Drogba emphasised that the award doesn’t solely honour his community efforts but also his campaign against racism. 

List of men’s Ballon d’Or winners

The first Ballon d’Or was awarded in 1956 to Blackpool legend Stanley Matthews, one of the greats of the English game.

Dutch giant Johan Cruyff became the first player to win it three times in the 1970s. French star Michel Platini won it three times in a row — the first to achieve that feat — in the 80s.

Messi and Ronaldo dominated from 2008-2017, with only Luka Modric capable of stopping that run in 2018.

Messi then won the 2021 Ballon d’Or, beating out Robert Lewandowski and Jorginho by a narrow margin for his seventh trophy before lifting his eighth in 2023.
