FIFA has announced the nominees for The Best FIFA Football Awards™ 2024, celebrating the top performances in men’s and women’s football. Fans can now vote on FIFA.com, with exciting new categories introduced, including the FIFA Marta Award for the best goal in women’s football.

FIFA has revealed the nominees for The Best FIFA Football Awards™ 2024. The awards will honour outstanding performances in men’s and women’s football at both club and international levels.

Voting is now open on FIFA.com. Fans can participate in selecting winners for key categories, including The Best FIFA Men’s Player, The Best FIFA Women’s Player, and The Best FIFA Coaches. For the first time, fans can vote for The Best FIFA Men’s 11 and The Best FIFA Women’s 11, choosing from a list of 77 players.

In addition, FIFA has introduced the FIFA Marta Award, which will recognise the best goal scored in women’s football. This award complements the FIFA Puskás Award, which celebrates the best goal scored in men’s football.

Voting will be shared equally between fans, national team captains and coaches, and media representatives for most categories. However, fans alone will decide the FIFA Fan Award, while an expert panel will determine the FIFA Fair Play Award.
