FIFA will be announcing 'The Best' Football Awards for the 2024-25 season on Tuesday, December 16 at the Fairmont Katara Hall in Doha, Qatar. The event will be followed by the gala dinner, featuring 800 guests.

All eyes will surely be on this year's Ballon d'or winner Ousmane Dembele and Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal, who finished second in the race.

The Spanish international fell 321 points behind Dembele in what was an unanimous decision by a total of 100 journalists around the world.

However, FIFA uses the traditional voting system, where fans, current captains and coaches of men's and women's teams vote.

Lamine Yamal will be hoping for his fans and counterparts to make him the youngest ever to win the best men's player award.

His role was crucial in helping Barcelona claim the top-flight title and their journey to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, where they lost to Inter Milan. Yamal had a contribution of 43 G/A (18 goals and 25 assists) in 55 matches across all competitions.

But to become the youngest winner, Yamal's biggest opponent will be French international Ousmane Dembele, who won his maiden Ballon D'or award on the back of a sensational season.

The PSG forward scored 35 goals and provided 15 assists in 53 matches across all domestic and continental club competitions.

Over the years, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Luka Modric, Robert Lewandowski and Vinicius Junior have won the prestigious award, which is FIFA's version of the Ballon d'or.

The Best players, goalkeepers and coaches as well as the playing XIs of the year will be revealed on the eve of FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2025 final between PSG and Flamengo.
