Harry Kane wins 2026 Ballon d'Or as quiz challenges fans on past winners
Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has been named the 2026 Ballon d'Or winner, the 70th edition of football's top individual prize, prompting a quiz on all previous recipients.
Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has won the 2026 Ballon d'Or, the award widely regarded as football's most prestigious individual honour. The result was announced on Monday, marking the 70th edition of the prize.
The award dates back to 1956, when its first recipient was honoured. With Kane's win now confirmed, the roll of honour spans seven decades of football history.
The milestone has prompted a quiz asking supporters to name all 69 previous winners since that inaugural year. The challenge covers every recipient from 1956 up to the edition before Kane's victory.
Fans looking for more quizzes are directed to dedicated football and sports quiz pages, where they can also sign up for notifications about new quizzes and submit their own ideas.
Details of Kane's season, the voting margins and the runners-up were not included in the source material, so the full context of his win remains to be fleshed out elsewhere.
