FIFA Best Player awards criteria?

The criteria for the FIFA Best Player awards typically include a player’s performance and achievements over a specific period. While exact criteria may evolve, here are some common aspects considered:

1. Individual Performance: The player’s individual performance throughout the award period, including goals scored, assists, defensive contributions, and overall impact on matches.
2. Team Success: The success of the player’s team in various competitions, such as league titles, domestic cups, and international tournaments, can influence the decision.
3. Consistency: Consistent high-level performance over the award period is often a key criterion. Players who maintain a high standard of play throughout the season are usually favored.
4. Sportsmanship: Fair play, discipline on the field, and adherence to the principles of sportsmanship are essential considerations.
5. Leadership: Captains or players who demonstrate exceptional leadership qualities, both on and off the field, may receive recognition.
6. Individual Achievements: Awards or recognitions received by the player during the award period, such as Golden Boots, Player of the Month awards, or inclusion in prestigious teams, can contribute to their candidacy.
7. Global Impact: The player’s influence on the global football stage, including popularity, marketability, and fan engagement, can also play a role.

It’s important to note that FIFA may adjust these criteria, and the specifics can vary each year. The voting process involves national team captains, coaches, journalists, and sometimes fans, each providing their rankings for the nominated players. The player with the highest cumulative score is then awarded the FIFA Best Player accolade.
