FIFA has announced the shortlist of nominees for The Best FIFA Football Awards. The awards will be presented across four categories with the best men’s and women’s player as well as coaches being on the agenda. A total of forty-two names have been drafted in nominations.

Who can vote for The Best FIFA Football Awards and how can you vote?

Every fan can vote across all the four categories. A panel of experts for men’s and a panel of experts for women’s football participated in the process of preparing the shortlist. It is important to note that fans vote is not the sole criteria for winning this award as it accounts for 25% of the total votes. The rest has been divided equally between the media, coaches, and players with all of them being responsible for 25% of the voting powers. However, not all players and coaches can vote either as the respective coach and captain of national teams get the voting power.
