The nomination of the Ballor d’Or 2021 are in after a one-year parenthesis due to the Covid-19 Pandemia. The Ballon d’Or is back with a brand new list of thirty.  In comparison with the 2019 edition, twenty-one have gone overboard.   The list of thirty nominated for the Ballon d’Or France Football 2021 is two-thirds renewed compared to the previous edition, in 2019.  Good news is that five Serie A players and five Italians are among the nomination for the Ballon d’Or 2021.
