The magazine was established with name Onze in 1976.[1] In 1989 the magazine merged with another sports magazine, Mondial, and began to use its current name, Onze Mondial.[1]
The magazine is published on a quarterly basis in Paris.[2] It was previously published monthly by Lagardère Active.[1] In May 2013 the magazine ceased publication when it went bankrupt.[3] Sporteam Media SAS, a subsidiary of MenInvestMedia,[4] bought it in October 2013[3] and the magazine was relaunched in November of the same year.[2]
Every year, Onze Mondial hands out the European Footballer of the Year (Onze d'Or) award, as well as awards for coaches.[5]
In 2014 Onze Mondial had a circulation of 20,954 copies.[6]
