When is 2022 Ballon d’Or ceremony taking place?
The Ballon d’Or 2022 award ceremony will take place on October 17, 2022, at Theatre du Chatelet in Paris.
What are the new rules for Ballon d’Or 2022-
This time, the award will be represented based on the European League’s main season instead of the entire calendar. The award for 2022 will be given to the players based on their performance in the 2021/22 campaign.
The voting will involve France Football and L’Equipe’s top journalists. Lower teams in FIFA are totally excluded from voting. The voting will be based on the individual and collective performance of the contenders throughout the season, keeping ‘‘the class of the player’’ and their ‘ʼsense of fair play’’ in the account. The player performance will not be considered from 2022 onward.
