Ballon d'Or Quiz: Do You Really Know the Legends of the Trophy?

Since 1956, the Ballon d'Or awarded by France Football has honored the world's best soccer player of the year. From Stanley Matthews to Lionel Messi, from Johan Cruyff to Karim Benzema, this trophy has crowned the biggest names in our soccer quiz. Our Ballon d'Or quiz features 90 questions about the winners, records, and controversies that have shaped the history of this legendary award.

The Ballon d'Or Dynasties

Messi leads the pack with 8 trophies. Ronaldo has 5. Before them, Cruyff, Platini, and Van Basten each ruled their era with 3 wins apiece. The quiz also covers one-time winners: George Weah (the first African winner, in 1995), Luka Modrić (the only Croatian winner, in 2018), and Fabio Cannavaro (a rare defender to take the prize, in 2006). Every question takes you back to these historic moments.

Controversies and Memorable Moments

The Ballon d'Or hasn't escaped controversy. No trophy was awarded in 2020 due to the pandemic. The misplaced votes of 1989. The contentious merger with FIFA from 2010 to 2015. This hard-level quiz explores these gray areas, where soccer politics collide with sporting legend. Do you really know all the secrets behind this trophy?
