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.

The Sporting News will detail the winners and final rankings as they are announced throughout the ceremony.
