Ten prizes will be distributed during the course of the evening with the most anticipated awards being those of Men’s and Women’s Player of the Year where Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid) and Aitana Bonmati (FC Barcelona Femeni) are firm favourites.
Tonight’s ceremony will be the 68th edition of the prestigious awards and this year, founders France Football have teamed up with UEFA for an event celebrating the best in the game based on performances over the season, from August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2024.
Ballon d’Or trophy: dimensions, value
One of the most iconic awards in the game, the Ballon d’Or trophy (the golden ball in French) is widely reported to be worth somewhere in the region of $3,000. It includes a pyrite base and the overall structure measures 31 cm in height and 23 cm in diameter, and weighs just over 7 kg.
Made with two brass plates that are soldered together to create the shape of a ball, the trophy is filled with a wax-like material and, on the outside, is bathed in gold.
The Women’s Player of the Season award was introduced in 2018 and was won by Norwegian striker Ada Hegerberg becoming the inaugural recipient of the award and the trophy for the women’s award faithful to the design of the men’s award.

Vini wining the ballondor is not my problem. My problem is who would have thought Vini will win it before 1. Neymar 2. Lewy 3. Haland 4. kane With these stats of Vini to win ballondor shows how low football has declined as compared to the days of the Goat and and second goat Ronaldo with mind blowing stats. Let's be real guys Vini deserves this .

💯2 separate pieces of the Ballon D'or trophies(replica) are being made in Aba(Nigeria) now. 💯One for Rodri and the other one for Latauro Martinez. 💯This initiative is being taken as consolation for those of you that'll be shedding tears after the original copy is being handed over to Vinicius on Monday night. 💯One night, 3 balloon D'or winners, and everyone goes home happily.

Without doubt and with no disregards to whatever any other player won in past season, VINICIUS JNR remains the best and worthy player for the BALLON D'OR. VINI has done greatly and the trophies he won are weightier and better in all. The few Barca fans that are pushing LAUTARO or CARVAJAL or RODRI forgot to do this all the years that Messi won the Ballon D'or award when many players deserved them with more trophies. Then they said individual performance/contributions; please let that same individual performance of VINI JNR be considered with trophies he won. & The facts remains that VINI J. is a better player, who is joy to watch any day anytime ahead of other considerable players and he won most important trophies in Europe.
