The first five players to be
considered for the Ballon d’Or has been released, with Gareth Bale and
Cristiano Ronaldo making the list.
The Real Madrid duo join fellow
nominees in Sergio Aguero, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Gianluigi Buffon as
the first five to be released in the 30-man shortlist.
The overall list of names put
forward for the prize is being announced in five-man groups in alphabetical
order throughout Monday.
The Ballon d’Or and the FIFA
World Player of the Year awards merged in 2010 to become the FIFA Ballon d’Or,
but that partnership came to an end this year, allowing both prizes to return
to their original formats.
