FIFA (International Federation of Association Football) has officially unveiled the list of three finalists for the 2013 Ballon d’Or: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Franck Ribéry. The ultimate winner of this prestigious award will be revealed on January 13 during the annual FIFA gala.
Interestingly, the Africa Top Sports.com community, actively engaged in voting for several weeks, has independently reached the same conclusion. According to the community’s sentiments, Cristiano Ronaldo holds a significant lead, followed by Lionel Messi, who has surpassed Franck Ribéry in popularity.
It’s noteworthy that the sole African nominee, Yaya Touré, did not secure a spot in the top 3 but has earned a place in the top 5.
The call to action remains for continued voting, commenting, and sharing within the community, building anticipation and excitement for the upcoming announcement of the 2013 Ballon d’Or winner.
