Where are The Best FIFA Football Awards?

The Best FIFA Football Awards have been held virtually over the past couple of years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year’s event will be in-person again, with attendees congregating at the glitzy Salle Pleyel in Paris. The venue is normally used as a concert hall.

Who is nominated for The Best FIFA Football Awards?

Awards will be given out in nine categories this evening, with the main focus on the men’s and women’s awards for best player, goalkeeper and coach. The Puskás Award is another highly-anticipated accolade at The Best FIFA Football Awards.

The final selections for the FIFA FIFPRO Men's and Women's World 11s will also be made.

Although tonight’s ceremony is being held in 2023, it is the 2022 edition. As such, the awards cover matches played between August 7th 2021 and 31st July 2022.
