The Best FIFA football awards
FIFA has announced the nominees for each category of The Best awards. This prestigious organisation honours the top performances in elite soccer with various awards recognising the best male and female players individually.
To select the winners in each category, a vote is conducted involving national team coaches from both men’s and women’s soccer, the current captains of each national team (one per team), a specialised journalist from each region, and fans.
The awards go to the nominees who receive the most votes in each category. Male team representatives vote in the men’s category, and female team representatives vote in the women’s category. The Puskas Award and the Marta Award are chosen solely by a panel of FIFA Legends and fan votes.

The winners of The Best FIFA Men’s Player, The Best FIFA Women’s Player, The Best FIFA Men’s Coach, The Best FIFA Women’s Coach, The Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper, and The Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper are selected through the aforementioned triple vote. For the first time, the Best FIFA Men’s 11 and Best FIFA Women’s 11 will be chosen in the same manner.
According to the official guidelines: “Each jury member is asked to nominate, in descending order of merit, three players, three coaches, and three goalkeepers they consider deserving of the award in question. The three nominees from each jury member receive five, three, or one point based on their ranking, with five points for first place, three for second, and one for third.”
Finally, fans who wish to participate in the voting need only register with an account on FIFA.com, log in, and select their favourite candidates in each category. The deadline for voting is December 10.
