The Kopa Trophy is awarded to the best player under 21, established in 2018, recognizing remarkable young talent, with past winners like Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
Unlike the Golden Boy award, which is limited to European players, the Kopa Trophy is globally inclusive, as decided by a jury of former Ballon d'Or winners. This enhances its prestige.
Named after Raymond Kopa, a 1958 Ballon d'Or winner, the Kopa Trophy highlights young footballing talent and has seen distinguished winners like Gavi, Pedri, and Matthijs de Ligt.
