How does it work?

Firstly, France Football - who launched the award in 1956 - and L'Equipe, also of France, decide on the 30 nominees. Then, a journalist from each of the top 100 countries in the FIFA rankings choose their top 10, with 15, 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points given out, with first receiving the maximum and 10th the minimum. Whoever receives the most points will lift the award.
