Think You Know Football? Test Your Skills with This Ballon d’Or World Cup Winner Challenge!

If winning the World Cup is the pinnacle of football as a team sport, picking up the Ballon d’Or is the ultimate individual accolade. Doing both in the same year is the kind of thing dreams are made of – even for the best in the world, it doesn’t always work like that.

There were a handful of World Cups before the Ballon d’Or era. The first time they both happened was in 1958, when a teenage Pele starred in Brazil’s triumph. But watch out! The Ballon d’Or hasn’t always been a global award.

In this quiz, we want you to name the Ballon d’Or winner in every World Cup year. There are 18 players to name and we’re giving you a tough time limit of just 4 minutes.

FourFourTwo has lots more football quizzes, all courtesy of Kwizly. First up, we want you to name every team competing in the league phase of the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League this season and every team playing in Australia’s A-League Men in 2026-27.

We also have a Big Quiz of English Football Grounds. It’ll test your knowledge of the stadiums, stands and streets that make up the architectural fabric of the national game. You’ll probably need to have been to a few of them to hit the high notes.
