The Best FIFA Men's and Women’s Player award winners will be crowned at The Best FIFA Football Awards 2024 ceremony while the world watches from home.
Much like the Ballon d'Or awards, The Best FIFA Football Awards recognize the best players, coaches and goalkeepers in soccer from the past year. The ceremony also honors the best goals across the men's and women's game with the FIFA Puskás Award and FIFA Marta Award.
11 men and 16 women were named as nominees for the The Best FIFA Men's and Women’s Player awards respectively. The prestigious individual honor will go to the two players who received the most votes from the fans, current captains and coaches of national teams and media representatives.
Less than a month after FIFA unveiled the full list of nominees, the ceremony is set to unfold for the world to watch.
When Are The Best FIFA Football Awards 2024?
The Best FIFA Football Awards 2024 take place on Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2024. The ceremony typically unfolds in January every year, but FIFA announced an earlier date for this year's awards.
