Quiz: Kane and who else? Name every men's Ballon d'Or winner

Do you know every winner since the very first recipient of the Ballon d'Or, way back in 1956? Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane won the 2026 Ballon d'Or – widely regarded as football's most prestigious individual award – on Monday.

It was the 70th edition of the award – can you name who won it the previous 69 times? Football quiz: Name every club in the Premier League and EFL

The verified material contains no information beyond the text already published. It identifies the quiz’s subject, states that the award began in 1956, names the 2026 recipient and describes the edition number, but each of those points is already included in the supplied copy. It provides no further winners, results, biographical details or quiz answers. Adding any new football information would require material not present in the verified evidence.

The source does not list the earlier recipients, give the event location, identify organisers or voters, explain the selection process, or provide scores, rankings, reactions, background or links to any other competition. As a result, no non-duplicative factual addition can be made while remaining within the stated sourcing limits.
