2. Clbad of players (talent and ability to play fair).
3. The general rule of the player's career during the season and before.

How to choose the winner of the Golden Ball?

Once all the players have received the points of their preference from the press committees, the total score is counted and on this basis, the player with the most points wins first place among all the candidates.

In the event of a tie, the player who was chosen in the first place is chosen more often than the others. If the draw continues, the second place is taken in the same logic, then the third place, etc.

If the draw continues, the organizing committee will vote again on both, just to resolve the controversy. If all these attempts end without a winner, the publisher of the magazine France Football ultimately decides to choose the winner.
