Messi’s Previous Wins and the Rise of FIFA The Best
FIFA began organizing The Best FIFA Football Awards in 2016, effectively ending its collaboration with France Football on the Ballon d’Or.This move allowed FIFA to establish its own autonomous recognition of footballing excellence.
prior to Messi’s recent win, Robert Lewandowski received the award twice: in 2020, a year the Ballon d’Or was not held, and in 2021, a decision that sparked some controversy as Lionel Messi was ultimately awarded the Ballon d’Or that year.
Sport.pl reports on Lewandowski’s performance and the context of the 2021 awards.
