'[[Image:BALLON OR.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The ''Ballon d'Or''&nbsp;&nbsp;trophy.]] The "{{lang|fr|'''Ballon d'Or'''}}", often referred to as the '''European Footballer of the Year''' award, is an annual [[association football]] award. It is presented to the player who has been considered to have performed the best over the previous calendar year. The award was conceived by ''[[France Football]]'s'' chief magazine writer [[Gabriel Hanot]], who asked his colleagues to vote for the player of the year in Europe in 1956. The inaugural winner was [[Stanley Matthews]] of [[Blackpool F.C.|Blackpool]].<ref name="one">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7743176.stm |title=Ronaldo joins legendary list |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |date=1 December 2008 |accessdate=4 December 2008 }}</ref> Originally, journalists could only vote for European players at European clubs, meaning that players like [[Diego Maradona]] and [[Pelé]] were ineligible for the award.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7750881.stm |title=Matthews wins first Golden Ball |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |date=1 December 2008 |accessdate=4 December 2008 }}</ref> In 1995, there was a change in the rules to allow non-European players to be eligible for the award if they played for a European club.
