Overview

• UEFA is set to co-organize soccer's prestigious Ballon d'Or awards in partnership with Groupe Amaury from 2024.
• The European soccer body will bring its football expertise to the table, as well as organizing the annual awards gala and marketing the global commercial rights.
• This new deal sees the end of UEFA's own player of the year awards, which have traditionally been given out in August each year.
• However, it will continue to award the player of the season for each of its club competitions like the Champions League and Europa League.
• UEFA and Groupe Amaury are also adding new awards for the best coaches in men's and women's soccer.
