Daro Ronaldo has maintained the youngest record to win the golden ball since the age of 21 and 3 months, and Yamal still has a chance at the age of 18!

The 2025 Golden Globe Awards ceremony ended. Yamal, who is 18 years old and 71 days old, is ranked second. He still has the opportunity to hit the youngest record of winning the Golden Globe in 21 years and 3 months set by Ronaldo in 1997.

Royce won the award for his outstanding performance at Barcelona in the 1996/97 season. He won the King's Cup, the Western Super League Cup, and the European Super League Cup, and won the Copa America championship that summer. However, in the summer window of 1997, Ronaldo transferred to Inter Milan and was already wearing a blue and black battle jersey when he won the Golden Globe Award.

Messi won the Golden Globes for the first time at the age of 22 (2009), while Ronaldo was 23 (2008). Irving (2001) and George Best (1968) also won the award at the age of 22.
