The ceremony, run by FIFA, recognises the best-performing male and female players, goalkeepers and coaches across the year, spanning from August 2024 to August 2025.
Vinicius Junior and Aitana Bonmati scooped the individual player prizes last year, while Emi Martinez and Alyssa Naeher were named best goalkeepers.
Carlo Ancelotti and Emma Hayes were recognised for their final contributions at Real Madrid and Chelsea before the pair moved to manage Brazil and the United States respectively.
This year, Cole Palmer and Mohamed Salah are among the nominees for the men’s individual award, and Enzo Maresca and Arne Slot are up for the men’s coach prize.
On the women’s side, Sarina Wiegman has been recognised for her second successive Euros title with England, along with Arsenal’s Champions League-winning Renee Slegers and Chelsea’s Sonia Bompastor.
In the goalkeeping shortlists, Alisson, Gianluigi Donnarumma, David Raya and Emi Martinez are the Premier League interest in the men’s, while Hannah Hampton and Anna Moorhouse are the Lionesses recognised.
