Updates

The FIFA Puskás Award was converted from a mixed award to a men's award with the introduction of the FIFA Marta Award, a women's award for most outstanding goal named after the Brazilian attacker Marta, who is herself nominated. [1]

Both Men's and Women's World Best 11 changed format and allocation following the 2024 divestment of the FIFPRO World 11, which had been partnered with FIFA to operate these awards since 2009. Previously, a World Best squad was named by FIFA-FIFPro, with votes selecting the Best 11 from the squad list: the new FIFA Best 11 squads have nomination longlists for each area of the pitch, with votes more clearly selecting the best goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. In total, there are 77 nominees. In terms of allocation, rather than assigning three players for each outfield area and the next most-voted additional outfield player to the Best 11, the new allocation will assign three defenders and midfielders, and two forwards, with the two next most-voted outfield players (though each having to be different positions for a maximum four defenders/midfielders and three forwards) included. [2] Additionally, fan votes will form part of the selection for the Best 11 squads, weighted equally with an expert panel. [3]
