2020年足壇金球獎取消

France Football has announced there will be no Ballon d'Or award ceremony in 2020.

《法國足球》雜誌宣佈，2020年將不會頒發金球獎。

The award ceremony had been scheduled to take place as usual in December, where the best players in the game over the previous 12 months would be presented with the prestigious awards.

今年的金球獎頒獎典禮原計劃同往年一樣在12月舉行，過去一年裏足壇表現最佳的運動員將被授予這一榮譽獎項。

France Football said in a statement that the prize will not be awarded this year for the first time since it was launched in 1956 due to the 2019-20 season being disrupted by the novel coronavirus pandemic.

《法國足球》在一份聲明中稱，受新冠病毒大流行影響，2019-20賽季中斷，因此今年將不會進行金球獎的評選，這是1956年金球獎設立以來第一次中斷評選。

It has been far from a normal year for football, with the COVID-19 pandemic pausing all sport between March and June.

2020年對於足壇來說是極不尋常的一年，新冠肺炎疫情導致3月至6月所有賽事停頓。

The European Championships, which take place every four years and normally have a significant bearing on the award, were rescheduled to 2021 as a result.

每四年舉辦一次的歐錦賽因此推遲至2021年舉行，通常來說，球員在歐錦賽上的表現很大程度上能決定金球獎歸屬。
