The Ballon d'Or for the year 2020 was not officially awarded due to the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting the football calendar. However, leaked voting results later showed that Robert Lewandowski was the top choice and the unofficial winner for 2020. Despite this, the award was not presented that year in an official ceremony.
For context, the Ballon d'Or event typically takes place annually, with the 2025 ceremony scheduled for September 22, 2025, in Paris.
To summarize:
- The Ballon d'Or 2020 award ceremony was canceled.
- Robert Lewandowski is regarded unofficially as the 2020 winner based on leaked votes.
- The event usually happens once a year, with the next scheduled for September 2025.
