Ousmane Dembélé’s recent Ballon d’Or victory has once again highlighted France’s proud tradition of producing world-class footballers. Over the years, the prestigious award has been shared across different nations, but only a few countries dominate the list with multiple winners.
Below are the countries with the highest number of Ballon d’Or awards (men’s category):
