Best FIFA Football Awards: List of all winners

Best FIFA Football Awards take place every year

FIFA, the organization that oversees football, presents the Best FIFA Football Awards every year. Over the years many players have won the prize following their impressive performance for club and country.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo remain the only players to win the award on more than one occasion. Both stars have gone head-to-head for the accolade several times during their playing career in Europe.

However, the former Barcelona player holds an edge with the most awards for the Best FIFA Men’s Player compared to Ronaldo’s two. Meanwhile, other winners have been Luka Modric and Robert Lewandowski.

We take a look at the List of the Best FIFA Men’s Player winners.

Since 2016, FIFA, the organization that oversees football, has given out the Best FIFA Women’s Player award every year to recognize the player who excelled over the preceding calendar year. From 2001 to 2015 the award was known as FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year.

Selection process for Best FIFA Women’s Player award

Both sports performance and overall behaviour on and off the field are taken into consideration when choosing the players of the year.

Media members, national team coaches, and national team captains cast their ballots. The announcement that the general public would also be able to vote was made in October 2016.

Alexia Putellas is the only Women’s football player to have won the award twice, while the rest have won once. Putellas won the prize in a row following her impressive performance for Barcelona‘s women’s team.

She could once again win the award but it’s going to be very unlikely as her teammate Aitana Bonmatí will compete with her for the accolade.
