The Ballon d'Or was not awarded in 2020. The award ceremony in 2025 is currently taking place, with the winner for that year about to be announced. The most recent awarded Ballon d'Or before that is for the year 2024, which was won by Spanish player Rodri from Manchester City. For 2020 specifically, the Ballon d'Or was not awarded, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting the football calendar. There was consideration given to awarding the 2020 Ballon d'Or to Robert Lewandowski, but it was officially not awarded that year.
