Ballon d'Or 2022: a new prize will be awarded
The presentation of the Ballon d'Or 2022 will take place on October 17, 2022 in Paris. While waiting for this big meeting, France Football announced on Wednesday the creation of the “Socrates prize” which will reward committed players.
A new distinction will be awarded during the 2022 Ballon d'Or ceremony. This is the "Socrates Prize" rewarding the best players involved. It will be awarded during the official award ceremony for the 2022 Ballon d'Or on October 17 in Paris.
“The Socrates Prize will make it possible to identify the best solidarity actions carried out by committed champions and champions,” reads a press release from France Football magazine.
The name of Socrates, a genius footballer who died in 2011, was chosen by France Football because of the involvement of this Brazilian international midfielder in the famous and romantic "Corinthian Democracy": in the midst of a military dictatorship in Brazil in the 1980, the Corinthians team made the daring choice to submit all club decisions to a vote.
This new prize will be awarded by a jury including the former figure of Brazil and PSG Raï, younger brother of Socrates.
