The lists of nominees up for the various individual prizes that make up The Best FIFA Football Awards have been released for 2025.
The Best Men’s and Women’s Player award are the two biggest accolades on offer, recognising the best player in world over the course of the past season—the dates between which achievements are counted towards nominations are August 11, 2024, up to August 2, 2025.
It means that those who thrived in last season’s Champions League competitions, in their respective domestic leagues, in the Women’s Euro 2025 and the inaugural Men’s Club World Cup dominate.
The other core categories for Best Goalkeeper and Best Coach also have their nominees. But FIFA will release the contenders for the annual Puskás Award, handed to the scorer of the best goal of the year in question, at a later date.
FIFA’s awards are directly pitted against the Ballon d’Or as the most prestigious in the sport, with the latter’s 2025 ceremony already taking place in September. Ousmane Dembélé and Aitana Bonmatí won the top prizes then, and will be favourites to do so again here.
