FIFA Marta Award


The FIFA Marta Award is an award established in 2024 by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association to be awarded to the women's association football player judged to have scored the most aesthetically significant, or "most beautiful", goal of the calendar year. The Marta Award is announced yearly and is considered by voting.
The award is named in honour of Marta, the forward and captain of the Brazil women's national team for over two decades from 2002 until 2024.
The time-frame for the first award was August 2023 to August 2024. The annual award was presented for the first time during The Best FIFA Football Awards 2024 Gala on 17 December 2024; Marta herself won the inaugural award.

Female FIFA Puskás Award nominees (2009–2023)

Before 2024, the award for the best goal was combined with that for men's football in the FIFA Puskás Award, with Heather O'Reilly becoming the first female nominee in 2011. No woman won the award, with Stephanie Zambra achieving the best placement by a women's player by ranking second in 2014 behind James Rodriguez. Daniuska Rodríguez and Deyna Castellanos ranked third in 2016 and 2017 respectively. Caroline Weir is the only women's player to receive multiple nominations for the Puskás Award, and one of only eight players to have been so at the time of the Marta Award's inception.
