The 2023 Golden Ball Awards ceremony will take place at 2:45 a.m. on October 31, and will be broadcast live on the FPT Play system from 1 a.m. Fans are eagerly awaiting the next name to be honored in the category of the world's best player.

2023 is the 67th time the Ballon D'or award - Golden Ball is given to honor the best players in the world. The award consideration period is from August of the previous year to July of this year.

In the 2022/2023 season, Lionel Messi had 21 goals and 20 assists for PSG in Ligue 1. But the achievement that made the 36-year-old striker really break out in the race for the Golden Ball was the 2022 World Cup championship. He scored 7 goals and had 3 assists for the Argentina team.

Throughout his career, Lionel Messi has won the Ballon d'Or 7 times in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021. This time, Lionel Messi's main rival will be Erling Haaland. The Norwegian player did not participate in the World Cup but had a brilliant season in Man City's shirt.

He scored 52 goals in all competitions, becoming the top scorer in both the Premier League and the European Cup 1. Haaland's outstanding contribution helped Man City win a historic treble with the Premier League, European Cup 1 and FA Cup.

The remaining names on the nomination list all had successful seasons but hardly stood out in terms of individuality like Haaland and Messi. Kim Min-jae is the only Asian player on the list. Meanwhile, the Argentine team, in addition to Messi, also contributed many other players such as Julian Alvarez, Emiliano Martinez, Lautaro Martinez.

Also at tonight's ceremony, other categories include the Women's Ballon d'Or, the world's best young player, best striker and best goalkeeper.
