The top men’s and women’s football players of 2024 will be announced based on voting by fans, the current captains and coaches of all national teams, and media representatives. The awards are FIFA’s version of the older and more prestigious Ballon d’Or prize.

Vinicius will find out whether he’ll be finally getting his hands on a big global player award. He is on an 11-player shortlist for the best men’s player, having been so disappointed to lose out to Manchester City midfielder Rodri for the Ballon d’Or in October that he and his Madrid team snubbed the ceremony in Paris in protest.

Rodri is also on the shortlist, along with Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi — last year’s winner of the FIFA prize on a tiebreaker over Norway and Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

In the women’s category, Aitana Bonmati, the Ballon d’Or Feminin winner, is tipped to win after leading FC Barcelona to a historic quadruple and helping Spain secure the Nations League. But two-time winner Alexia Putellas is absent from the nominees.
