Ballon d’Or 2015 23-man shortlist announced by FIFA, See List!

Published

on

Perhaps looking to gain a march on the mainstream media, at 4am CET on Tuesday morning, FIFA announced the Ballon d’Or 2015 23-man shortlist.

It seems almost certain that the final 3-man shortlist will be Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.

Despite his goal scoring exploits for Real Madrid it would also be a huge surprise were Leo Messi not to win it after guiding Barcelona to a glorious treble.

Last season the final shortlist included Messi, Ronaldo and Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who is included again.

The Premier League based players on the shortlist include Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Alexis Sanchez and Yaya Toure.

At first glance it looks like this is more or less the 23 best players on the planet…

FIFA describe the process from here: “The final decisions will be made by the captains and head coaches of the men’s national teams as well as by international media representatives selected by France Football. The winners of all of the awards will be announced at the FIFA Ballon d’Or as part of a televised show at the Zurich Kongresshaus on 11 January 2016.

On 30 November, FIFA and France Football will announce in a web show the names of the three women and three men, as well as the three coaches for women’s football and three coaches for men’s football, who have received the most votes (without announcing the winners). The three nominees for the FIFA Puskás Award (honouring the most beautiful goal of the year) will be also unveiled.”
