The Golden Ball / 15th of January 2014

The Golden Ball is an individual award granted from 1956 to 2009 by the French magazine "France Football" to the best player listed each year in some European professional football championship, which is known as the award to the best european player of the year too.

The restrictment of giving the award only for european players was cancelled in 1995 when any player of around the world could win the award.

In 2010, a small quantity of people watched the prize award comparing it with the FIFA World Player. Because of it, this year the both companies were joined forming the FIFA Golden Ball.

Yesterday, this award was celebrated  in France winning the portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo who cried a lot when he recieves the award. It was hilarious!
