The award willl now be based on performances across a whole football season, rather than a calendar year, and the jury that selects the winner will be reduced to around 100 journalists rather than the current 170.

Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to provide an insight into their lives on social media.
The Ballon d'Or, awarded to the world's best male and female footballer, is revamping its format from next season, organisers France Football magazine said on Friday. The award will now be based on performances across a whole football season, rather than a calendar year, and the jury that selects the winner will be reduced to around 100 journalists rather than the current 170. The women's award will have a jury of 50.
A number of changes to the Ballon d’Or have been confirmed, with arguably the biggest of them all seeing the prize presented on a seasonal basis rather than for a calendar year. The Ballon d’Or had traditionally been presented to the best player over a 12-month period, taking into account performances from January to December.
The Ballon d'Or is set to undergo some huge changes, following Lionel Messi's seven time winning the award, and will be handed out earlier this year.
