The 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala was the fourth year for FIFA's awards for the top football players and coaches of the year. The awards were given out in Zürich on 13 January 2014.[1] The deadline for voting was 15 November 2013 but was extended to 29 November 2013 for the first time in history.
Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or award as the World Player of the Year. It was his second Ballon d'Or, after winning the award in 2008, as well as his first FIFA Ballon d'Or. He became the first and only player in the 21st century to win the award after going trophyless during the year. With the win, he ended Lionel Messi's domination of the award. Nadine Angerer was announced as the Women's World Player of the Year recipient, while Jupp Heynckes claimed the World Coach of the Year for Men's Football, and Silvia Neid the World Coach of the Year for Women's Football. The ninety-minute ceremony was hosted by Fernanda Lima along with Ruud Gullit.[2][3]
Voting[]
The deadline for voting was 15 November 2013.[4][5][6] However, for the first time ever, on 20 November 2013, FIFA announced that voting was extended to 29 November 2013 "after not receiving a response of enough eligible voters before the original deadline", when Ribéry was bookies favourite to win the award. [4][5][6][7] The winners were announced on 13 January 2014.[8][9]
