How are the best in each category chosen?
Since 2016, FIFA decided to award The Best award seeking annual recognition of the most outstanding soccer players in national football. In addition, they show direct competition with the Ballon d’Or, an award given by France Football. The evaluation period is from August 18, 2021 to December 18, 2022.
These awards have a unique voting system divided into four parts. 25% of the decision will be by the votes of the general public, another 25% to a selected group of journalists and another two quarters for the coaches of the national teams registered with FIFA and for their captains.
