Real Madrid win the men’s club of the year award at the 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony. The club, however, has boycotted the ceremony this year reportedly over Vinicius Junior being being snubbed for the best men’s player award over Rodri. 

Barcelona Femini wins the women’s club of the year award at the 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony. It won the league title for the fifth consecutive season and for the ninth time overall. It also ended the league season unbeaten with 29 wins and only one draw. 

It also won the Women’s UEFA Champions League, Copa de la Reina and Supercopa de Espana Feminina.

The prestigious Ballon d’Or ceremony will take place on Monday evening at the Châtelet Theatre in Paris.

The biggest headline will be the absence of both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, holders of 13 Ballon d’Or wins between them, as neither have been nominated for the first time in 20 years. 

Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior is the favorite to be crowned the world’s best player and become the first winner born this century. 

The other candidates are Manchester City and Spain’s Rodri and Vinicus’s Real teammate Jude Bellingham from England. 

The Ballon d’Or was created by France Football magazine and has been awarded since 1956. It is voted for by journalists from the top 100 countries in the FIFA rankings. 

Each journalist, one per country, selects 10 players in ranked order, with points attributed to each position. The winner is the player who receives the most points.
