🏆 Ballon d'Or Yashin Trophy Winners

The Yashin Trophy is an annual football award presented by France Football to the best-performing goalkeeper in the world. Established in 2019, the award is named in honor of the legendary Soviet goalkeeper Lev Yashin, who remains the only goalkeeper in history to have won the prestigious Ballon d'Or in 1963.

The Yashin Trophy was created to recognize the outstanding contributions of goalkeepers, who are often overshadowed by attacking players and midfielders at the Ballon d'Or ceremony. Before its creation, Lev Yashin was the sole goalkeeper to have ever won the Ballon d'Or. The trophy highlights the vital importance of the goalkeeper position and pays tribute to their achievements and legacy in the sport.
