The FIFA Ballon d'Or ( French pronunciation: Ã, [bal ?? d ??] , "Golden Ball") is an annual football association award given to the world's best men's players from 2010 to 2015. Given jointly by FIFA and France Football , the prize is a merger of FIFA World Player of the Year Awards and Ballon d'Or, two of the most prestigious individual awards in the world of football. The FIFA Ballon d'Or is awarded on the basis of votes from international journalists and national team coaches and captains, who voted for players who were deemed to have done their best in the previous calendar year.
The six editions of the FIFA Ballon d'Or are dominated by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as part of their ongoing rivalry.
Messi Barcelona won the inaugural Ballon d'Or in 2010 and then won three in a row, after his victories in 2011 and 2012.

His grant agency then ends their partnership; for 2016, France Football reintroduced the previous Ballon d'Or format, while FIFA created the FIFA Men's Best Player award.

Histori
Historically, the leading individual award in associate football was the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year award for the Year. The original Ballon d'Or, also known as the best European player, was awarded by the French publication France Football since 1956. The FIFA World Player of the Year awarded by FIFA, the governing body of the sport, from 1991.
Starting in 2005, Ballon d'Or winners and FIFA World Player of the Year are awarded every year. Following the introduction of the global Ballon d'Or format in 2007, France Football and FIFA chose to combine two awards. The creation of FIFA Ballon d'Or was later announced during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The award was awarded the same year to Lionel Messi of Argentina.
After a six-year partnership, France Football and FIFA ended the joint award. Lionel Messi has received the last FIFA Ballon d'Or. For historical purposes, the two award agencies regarded six editions of the FIFA Ballon d'Or as a continuation of their respective awards.
