Cristiano Ronaldo leads the Ballon d’Or all-time fan vote organised by France Football, as supporters choose the greatest winner in the history of the award.
The organisers announced Ronaldo’s lead in a post on the Ballon d’Or’s social media accounts. Voting began in early October and gives fans the chance to select their favourite among 10 football legends who have won the award multiple times.
The shortlist includes Portugal captain Ronaldo, Argentina’s Lionel Messi, France’s Michel Platini, England’s Kevin Keegan, Brazil’s Ronaldo Nazario, Dutch forward Marco van Basten and Johan Cruyff.
France Football invited supporters to choose their Ballon d’Or winner of all time. It also offered voters the chance to win two tickets to the 2027 ceremony. The Ballon d’Or, one of football’s most prestigious individual awards, recognises outstanding performances by players. Its history includes several generations of leading footballers.
Ronaldo and Messi have dominated discussions about individual football excellence for years. Both players have won the award multiple times during their careers.
However, the current fan vote focuses on the wider history of the prize. It brings together past winners from different eras and allows supporters to decide which player deserves the title of the greatest Ballon d’Or winner of all time.
The organisers have encouraged fans to cast their votes while the poll remains open. They have not announced a final result in the information provided.
The outcome will reflect the choices of participating supporters rather than an official ranking determined by France Football’s award jury.
