FIFA has revealed the shortlists for The Best FIFA Football Awards 2025, honoring top performers from August 11, 2024, to August 2, 2025. The men's player nominees include stars like Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, and Ousmane Dembélé, while the women's list features Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas, and Lauren James. Voting is open to fans, coaches, captains, and journalists until November 28, with the ceremony set for January 2026.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has revealed plans to replace The Best awards with a new initiative in partnership with the Dubai Sports Council. The announcement came during the inaugural World Sports Summit in Dubai and marks the end of the current awards format after nearly a decade. The new ceremony will become FIFA's sole official annual honors event starting next year.
