The Best FIFA Football Awards 2024 were held on 17 December 2024. The nominees for all categories were announced on 28 November 2024. [1]
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, [1] who also won the inaugural award.
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 separating each of the best goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. In total, there were 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 assigns 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 form part of the selection for the Best 11 squads, weighted equally with an expert panel. [3]
Eleven players were initially shortlisted on 28 November 2024. [4] The three finalists were revealed on December 17, 2024.
The selection criteria for the men's players and coaches was: respective achievements during the period from 21 August 2023 to 10 August 2024. [4]
