The Best FIFA Awards 2025: An Era Without Messi and Ronaldo

Today, Tuesday, the ceremony for The Best FIFA Football Awards 2025 will be held in Doha, Qatar. This is the most important event of the year, where FIFA honors the best players, coaches, and goalkeepers in the world. A key feature of this year is a generational shift: neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo are among the nominees, paving the way for new talents. The ceremony will take place at the Fairmont hotel in the Katara Hall and will be broadcast starting at 12:00 PM Panama time. The winners are decided by a system that gives equal weight to the votes of fans, national team captains and coaches, and members of the press. Among the top contenders for the title of Player of the Year are Ousmane Dembélé, the recent Ballon d'Or winner, along with Kylian Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, and Harry Kane, who dominated the European competitions with outstanding performances.
