Every year, global soccer governing body FIFA holds its own awards ceremony to recognize the most outstanding players from around the globe in the beautiful game.
FIFA originally had a collaboration with France Football for the Ballon d’Or gala, but went off on their own to produce their own litany of individual silverware.
Past award winners of the top prize, The Best men’s player, include Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Erling Haaland, and many other global superstars in recent years. This year, it will be fascinating to watch if FIFA follow suit with the Ballon d’Or to award Rodri with the commendation, or if they will recognize someone else such as Vinicius Jr. to create a discrepancy.

Spain star Aitana Bonmati, winner of last year’s prize and the Ballon d'Or Feminin holder, is the favourite.
Guardiola will hope to defend his award, but Carlo Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso are considered the favourites.
Sarina Wiegman won the past two awards, but the England boss is not among this year’s nominees.
Emiliano Martinez, winner in 2022, will be hoping to claim back this prize. Last year’s winner, Ederson, is again among the nominees.
Alyssa Naeher and Mary Earps are among the leading names for this prize.
The FIFA Puskas Award is always highly sought-after as it honours the best goal scored that year. In 2024, this is restricted to men’s football only, as the women’s game has a separate prize.
The Marta Award is given to the most aesthetically pleasing goal in the women’s game this year.
