The correct answer is Football.

Key Points

  • The Golden Ball was an annual association football award presented to the world's best men's player from 2010 to 2015.
  • Awarded jointly by FIFA and France Football, the prize was a merger of the FIFA World Player of the Year award and the Ballon d'Or, the two most prestigious individual honours in world football. 
  • Note: In an exam, options would be very close or same at times. We have to choose the most appropriate answer. The Golden Ball is given in football, where the majority of countries participate. But in IPL, its only international players and don't represent other countries.
