Who are the footballers nominated for The Best FIFA 2024 Prize? Is Messi one of them?
In this edition, fans will have the opportunity to vote for the winners of The Best FIFA Footballer of the Year, The Best FIFA Women’s Footballer of the Year, The Best FIFA Men’s Coach and The Best FIFA Women’s Coach.
Fan votes will also count equally in The Best FIFA Goalkeeper and The Best FIFA Goalkeeper Awards alongside votes from current national team captains and coaches, as well as media representatives.
This year, fans will exclusively choose the winner of the FIFA Fan Award, while a panel of experts will select the recipient of the FIFA Fair Play Award.
The winners of the new FIFA Marta Prize and the FIFA Puskás Prize will be chosen by both fans and a panel of FIFA legends, with votes given equal weight.
However, what’s new about this year’s The Best FIFA Football™ Awards is that fans will have the chance to participate in the selection of The Best FIFA XI Men’s and The Best FIFA XI Women’s Awards.
