Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal captain and a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, is leading a France Football poll to select the greatest winner in the history of the trophy. France Football confirmed his position on Tuesday 20 October 2026 on the Ballon d’Or’s official social media accounts, according to Pmnewsnigeria.
The poll, open since the start of the month, features ten legends who have won the Ballon d’Or at least twice. Lionel Messi, Michel Platini, Kevin Keegan, Ronaldo Nazario, Marco van Basten and Johan Cruyff are among the candidates. Participants can win two tickets to the 2027 Ballon d’Or ceremony.
The poll does not determine the Ballon d’Or, which rewards players’ individual performances, but is a separate vote for fans. France Football has urged fans to continue taking part, with the final result still dependent on votes yet to be cast.
