The Best FIFA Football Awards 2024
The Best FIFA Football Awards 2024 were held on 17 December 2024. The nominees for all categories were announced on 28 November 2024.
Changes
The FIFA Puskás Award was converted from a mixed award to a men's award with the introduction of the Marta Award, a women's award for most outstanding goal named after the Brazilian attacker Marta, 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 included. Additionally, fan votes form part of the selection for the Best 11 squads, weighted equally with an expert panel.
