Encyclopedic overview
The Kopa Trophy is an association football award presented to the best performing player worldwide under the age of 21 during a joint ceremony with the Ballon d'Or. The award is presented by France Football and is named after late French footballer Raymond Kopa, the winner of the 1958 Ballon d'Or.
The winner is selected by a jury of all former Ballon d'Or winners. The Kopa Trophy is open to all players throughout the six FIFA confederations, unlike the Golden Boy which is UEFA-based only.
