Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo is leading an official fan poll organised by France Football to determine the greatest Ballon d’Or winner of all time.
Voting began in early October, allowing supporters to choose their favourite from a list of 10 football legends who have won the prestigious individual award at least twice.
The Ballon d’Or organisers confirmed Ronaldo’s lead in a post on the award’s official social media account, encouraging fans to cast their votes and compete for two tickets to the 2027 ceremony.
Other nominees include Argentina captain Lionel Messi, French great Michel Platini, former England international Kevin Keegan, Brazilian striker Ronaldo Nazário, Dutch legend Marco van Basten and Johan Cruyff.
The poll gives supporters an opportunity to compare some of football’s most celebrated players and decide who deserves recognition as the greatest winner in the award’s history.
Ronaldo has won the Ballon d’Or five times, while Messi holds the record with eight titles.
The fan vote also offers participants the chance to win two tickets to the 2027 Ballon d’Or ceremony.
The final outcome will reflect the preferences of participating fans, with the nominees representing different generations of footballing excellence.
