2020年足坛金球奖取消

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

《法国足球》杂志宣布，2020年将不会颁发金球奖。

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.

今年的金球奖颁奖典礼原计划同往年一样在12月举行，过去一年里足坛表现最佳的运动员将被授予这一荣誉奖项。

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.

《法国足球》在一份声明中称，受新冠病毒大流行影响，2019-20赛季中断，因此今年将不会进行金球奖的评选，这是1956年金球奖设立以来第一次中断评选。

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

2020年对于足坛来说是极不寻常的一年，新冠肺炎疫情导致3月至6月所有赛事停顿。

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.

每四年举办一次的欧锦赛因此推迟至2021年举行，通常来说，球员在欧锦赛上的表现很大程度上能决定金球奖归属。
