Who will succeed the Argentinian Lionel Messi and the Spaniard Aitana Bonmati? After the questions surrounding Rodri’s victory and Vinicius Jr’s second place during the Ballon d’Or ceremony, this ceremony organized by Fifa could reshuffle the cards.
At issue: the voting method. While for the Golden Ball, it is journalists who vote (one for each country in the top 100 in the Fifa ranking), for The Best Trophies, the coaches and captains of all the national teams, but also supporters will vote in plus journalists.
Among the men, there are eleven in the list of nominees with, among others, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal. Among the favorites, we find the Brazilian Vinicius Jr, winner of the Champions League with Real Madrid, and the Spaniard Rodri from Manchester City, crowned European champion with La Roja and Ballon d’Or 2024. On the women’s side , sixteen players hope to win the trophy with for example Aitana Bonmati who puts her title on the line, Lucy Bronze (England) or Lauren Hemp (England).
The ceremony will also reward the best coaches of a men’s and women’s team and the best goalkeeper. The Marta and Puskas prizes will be awarded, respectively, to the best female and male goal.
The Best awards ceremony takes place this Tuesday in Doha. It can be followed on beIN Sports Max 4 and the DAZN and Fifa sites, from 6 p.m.
