The shortlist is decided upon by the editorial teams of France Football and L’Équipe, under the supervision of two international football figures: this year, Luis Figo, Ballon d’Or winner in 2000, and Fabio Capello. Criteria include individual performances and team achievements. The awards ceremony will be held in Paris on Monday, 22 September.

Lautaro and Dumfries are two of only three Serie A players named on this year’s Ballon d’Or shortlist. The third is Yann Sommer, who appears among the nominees for the Yashin Trophy, awarded annually to the best goalkeeper of the season.
