FIFA Best Football Awards 2024: The full list of nominees for the 2024 FIFA Best Football Awards has been released featuring the greatest male and female players across the globe.
The ninth edition of the FIFA Best Football Awards honour the finest players, coaches, and teams in women’s and men’s football at both club and national team levels.
The winners of the awards will be decided through a voting system involving fans, current captains and coaches of all women’s/men’s national teams, and media representatives.
The FIFA Fan Award, however, will be chosen entirely by fans, while the recipient of the FIFA Fair Play Award will be deliberated by an expert panel. The new FIFA Marta Award and the FIFA Puskás Award will be determined through voting split equally between fans and a panel of FIFA Legends.
Fans can cast their votes in various categories on FIFA.com until Tuesday, 10 December.
