One is organised by FIFA. The other is organised by French writers. I think that says it all.

It's like saying an award organised by NUJ (Nigerian Union of Journalists) is greater than CAF award

oyatainer:
Ballondor is much more prestigious than Fifa Best. Some people are not even aware of when Fifa best will be done.
By History and precedents, Ballondor is more recognised even by the onlookers.

Any narration contrary to this is futile for what is valued is valued no matter the tantrums.

FIFA award any day any time. Determined by Coaches, players and fans. Unlike Balon d'Or whose winner is determined by just some set of journalists. Plus FIFA covers more footballing jurisdiction than Balon d'Or.

fifa best
balon dor is just a French magazine award and has no right to determine the best player.
any country can also organize their awards.

But in all fifa best remains the most prestigious award in the world of football.
because it's the award organised by the world body of football.
They hardly get controversial and they almost get it right every time unlike balon d'Or.
told someone that there's no right thinking football body that'll pick Messi over lewy football achievement and fifa proved me right.
balon d'Or just wanted to cash out on Messi brand hence the award and the phantom new best striker award to lewy as compensation.
they're Afterall a magazine company so profit should be the priority.

the thing is that balon dor has more publicity than fifa best.

comparing balon dor to fifa best is like comparing Pes football game to fifa football game.
cheesy





You are spot on. Ballon D'or and BBC awards are organised by Journalists. FIFA awards is the best.

By hierarchy, FIFA BEST but The Ballon D'or was the most popular until they turned it into a popularity contest. Even Messi should be ashamed he won The Ballon D'or ahead of Lewandoski this time around.

I think it's FIFA cos it's a global body unlike Balon d'or that is a French award. FIFA covers more jurisdiction compared to others

It's not just about coverage.

Toyota has more coverage, but Benz is more prestigious grin

Ballon dor is the Oscars/ Grammys of football. It is the highest ranked individual awards in football. Lewa is still pained to his bone marrow for not winning it. He would have been happier if, he got the ballon dor instead of the FIFA best. Fact

If they don't give Ballon D'or to Lewandoski before he retires I will have problem with them. It's totally unfair to rob that guy of what he truly deserve.

Balloon D'or anyday anytime twice on my birthday.

Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday my guy, wishing you long life and prosperity......God bless your hustle.

Both balloon dor and FIFA best are all for "celebrity show and the most popular players contests"... The judges judge based on emotions, player and club sentiments..... The last thing on the minds of those judges is football...... The award is politicised, that is why you will never see names like Bernardo silva, Kante, debruyne win the award despite being some of the best players.

That is why you see players like mbappe and haaland trying hard to go to Madrid, because that is the only play that they are sure to win the individual awards and not team trophies.

That is why halaand does not want to go to mancity because no matter what he plays, no matter how many trophies he will win in mancity, he will never be recognized just ask toure, silva and aguero.


That is why you have c. RONALDO bribing the organizers because he knew that the award is political and the organizers and judges will collect bribe in any form.



The only award that is valid for me is on the field of play............ We I see Bernardo silva dribbling 6 men at ones, attacking and defending at the same time, running all over the field with seven heart bulling van Dirk to submission, thattt is a pure joy and award for me, I don't know about you.

Joy, when I see debruyne leaving Kante(best defensive midfielder) on grass and tearing the net from almost the centerline of the field with a rocket, that is joy for me. I don't know about you.

Balloon D'Or of course.

Used to be FIFA World Best Player and then Ballon D'Or for European Best Player.

End of thread.
I don't know when ballon d'or overtook fifa. Fifa best player was originally for the best player in the world and d'or for Europe best player. That was why guys like Shevchenko, Owen won it..

Yeah. Remember that era.

FIFA either went silent or BDO got a lot of publicity in the past decade.

All of a sudden, Ballon D'Or moved to the forefront. Before, in the days, only a very serious fan knew the BDO winners. FIFA was all the rave....

Ronaldo '96, '97.... Weah '95
