3×3 Grid • Hard

Ballon d'Or Grid

Three award eras. Spain, Italy and the rest of the world. Where did each winner play?

How it works

  1. 1. Tap a square. Each one sits where a row clue meets a column clue.
  2. 2. Name a soccer player who satisfies both clues.
  3. 3. You get 9 guesses in total. Miss a square? Take another swing at it. Every miss is tracked, and no player can be used twice.

How this award grid works

This grid covers the men's Ballon d'Or from 1956 through 2024 inclusive. Rows use the award year. Columns use the country of the club listed for that award in UEFA's winners archive, not the player's nationality or every club in their career. There was no award in 2020.

A player who won awards for clubs in different countries can qualify in more than one column, but each name can be used only once. A transfer during an award year can make the club clue tricky, so think about the club attached to that specific award before choosing a square.
