The full list of nominees for the 2024 FIFA The Best Football Awards features the greatest male and female soccer players across the globe.
The soccer world is still talking about the controversial 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony that ended with Manchester City’s Rodri taking home the most prestigious prize in soccer over Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior. Now, the two will once again battle for another individual honor at the FIFA The Best Football Awards in January. Along with the two favorites, nine other players received nominations for the FIFA The Best Men’s Player award, given to the standout player over the last calendar year.
Aitana Bonmatí, the 2024 Women’s Ballon d’Or winner, headlines the 16 players nominated for the FIFA The Best Women’s Player award. The upcoming ceremony will also honor the best men’s and women’s coaches, as well as the best men’s and women’s goalkeepers.
Unlike the Ballon d’Or awards, the winners of the FIFA The Best Football Awards are decided by fans, current captains and coaches of national teams and media representatives. Previous winners include Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Bonmatí and Alexia Putellas.
Here’s every player that scored a nomination for the upcoming FIFA The Best Football Awards.
