Tue Dec 17 18:25:07 UTC 2024: ## FIFA to Announce Best Football Awards in Digital Gala
**Doha, Qatar –** The FIFA Best Football Awards 2024 will be revealed in a digital broadcast from Doha, Qatar on Tuesday, December 17th. The announcement, coinciding with the eve of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final and the second anniversary of the 2022 World Cup final, will feature a gala dinner at the Aspire Academy celebrating its 20th anniversary.
The event will honor the world’s best players, coaches, and goals of 2024, with winners determined through a unique voting system. Fan votes played a significant role in several categories, including the coveted Best FIFA Men’s and Women’s Player awards, as well as the Best Coach and Goalkeeper awards for both genders. For the first time, fans also participated in selecting the Best FIFA Men’s and Women’s 11, contributing equally to the decision with an expert panel.
Other awards, such as the new FIFA Marta Award and the FIFA Puskas Award (for best goals), incorporated both fan and expert panel votes. The FIFA Fan Award was solely determined by public vote, while the FIFA Fair Play Award was selected by an expert panel.
The event will be attended by dignitaries including the FIFA President, FIFA Council members, FIFA Legends, and other football ambassadors. The digital broadcast will make the awards accessible to a global audience.
