BALLON D'OR EXPLANATION ON SUPER BALLON D'OR AND B.O.A.T

An official statement putting an end to the claims circulating on social media and the sports press in recent days came from the Ballon d'Or front, the most prestigious award organization of the football world. In the announcement made through the official accounts of the organization, it was stated strictly that B.O.A.T, the best player to have won a Ballon d'Or title which created great excitement among fans, has no connection whatsoever with the legendary Super Ballon d'Or award. In the detailed information provided, it was emphasized that the B.O.A.T concept consists entirely of a fan voting event carried out over digital platforms. It was underlined that no physical trophy will be presented to the name chosen first as a result of this poll during the glamorous gala ceremony to be held. A special parenthesis was also opened on the Super Ballon d'Or issue in order to eliminate the question marks in the minds of football fans. The Super Ballon d'Or, considered one of the most special and rare football awards in history, was only given to the legendary footballer Alfredo Di Stefano in 1989 in the past. According to the clear statement made by the institution, there is no planning or approved date passed by the board of directors for the redistribution of this prestigious award, which is unique in football history, today or in the near future. The online B.O.A.T poll, in which fans participate to support their own favorite players, will remain merely a fun interaction tool keeping the pulse of football fans. Thus, all unfounded expectations that a new Super Ballon d'Or would be given to one of the modern era legends like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo in recent weeks have been officially shelved. The organization committee invited the sports public to rely only on statements made through official channels.
