According to Українська Прем'єр-Ліга: Today, exactly 21 years after that great celebration for Ukrainian football, we remember how Andriy Shevchenko took the 'Ballon d'Or' into his hands. This day is truly special, as Sheva is the only athlete from independent Ukraine to have won the most prestigious award in world football.
In 2004, our hero, playing for 'Dynamo' and the Ukraine national team, received the 'Ballon d'Or' for his impressive achievements on the field and impeccable professionalism. Sheva will undoubtedly remain a football legend of our country!
