Soccer's most prestigious individual prize, the Ballon d'Or, will be co-organized by UEFA from next year, giving the European soccer body a global event that traditionally out-ranks FIFA’s own world awards. The deal comes seven years after a previous partnership between the French organizers of the award and world governing body FIFA ended. From 2024, the Ballon d’Or awards and ceremony will be co-organized by UEFA and Groupe Amaury, which publishes France Football and L’Equipe.
