So is it replacing it because my understanding was that they were merging and it was going to be called the FIFA Ballon D'or.

At least that's what Sky Sports was telling me:lol:


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Ballon D'or to Replace Fifa Award?
FIFA have struck a deal with the Ballon d'Or organisers so that the venerable award for the world's top player will replace the governing body's own player-of-the-year award.

Have your say.
