Africa’s leading digital TV operator StarTimes on Thursday announced that it is going to broadcast the 2018 Ballons d’Or Ceremony with its World Football Channel on 3rd December when the winner of the annual football award is to be unveiled.

Ballons d’Or is considered by many as the highest honor for football players. And the past 10 years has seen only two players win the Ballon d’Or – Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo. But this year’s Ballon d’Or is highly possible to be the edition to end the 10-year reign with reports suggesting that Luka Modric is likely to win this year’s honor after he recently won the Best FIFA Men’s Player award.
