Good day and welcome to sport update with Oye


Ronaldo and Messi to sit on panel of new Ballon d’Or award.


The pair will form part of a 33-man panel who will judge the game's outstanding up-and-coming young player


Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will form part of a panel that will vote on a new award added to the Ballon d’Or family this year: the Trophee Kopa.

Named after Raymond Kopa, the legendary Reims, Angers, Real Madrid and France striker, who won the inaugural Ballon d’Or in 1958, the award will go to the game’s outstanding young player aged under 21.

Ronaldo and Messi, though, will not be alone on a panel of illustrious talents. Joining the pair will be all the surviving Ballon d’Or winners, from Luis Suarez, the oldest winner still alive, to the Juventus and Barcelona stars, who have monopolised the individual award for a decade.


Furthermore, there will be a Ballon d’Or equivalent for female players.


This prize has been welcomed by France international Wendy Renard, who plays for Lyon and is a Champions League winner.

“The birth of the Ballon d’Or Feminin is a step further for the evolution of our sport,” she told France Football. “It’s a step forward. Women’s football is evolving and inequality is shrinking, even if there is still room for improvement.”

Meanwhile, Marta, one of the most recognisable female players of the last decade, added: “I’ve always wanted to see a woman win this prestigious award. It’s a step forward towards quality to see such a prize.”

It will be a panel of journalists specialising in women’s football around the world who will vote on the winner, using the same system that is in place for the men’s game. A longlist of 30 players will be available for the award on October 8, the same day as the male Ballon d’Or candidates are made known.

The award will also be presented on December 3, along with the Kopa Trophy and the Ballon d’Or itself.

Meanwhile, FIFA’s The Best awards are set to take place on Monday, with Ronaldo finding himself in the final three of the voting along with former Real Madrid team-mate Luka Modric and Liverpool hitman Mohamed Salah.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac...
