FIFA World Player

The FIFA World Player award is a prestigious accolade given annually to the best football player in the world. Established in 1991 by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), it honors the exceptional skill, performance, and sportsmanship demonstrated by male and female footballers globally. Recipients of this award are selected through a voting process that includes national team coaches, captains, and sports journalists who assess each player's achievements over the preceding year. The FIFA World Player award not only celebrates individual excellence but also highlights the global impact of football as a unifying sport across different cultures and nations.
