To vote for FIFA’s The Best player award, you usually need to register on FIFA.com, then cast your vote in the official voting window for the relevant award category. Fans can vote only once per category, and the vote cannot be changed after submission.

How it works

  • Go to FIFA’s official awards page when voting is open.
  • Sign in or register with a FIFA.com account if required.
  • Choose your top three picks in the category, since FIFA’s awards use a ranked voting system.
  • Submit your vote before the deadline, because voting closes at a set time.

Voting format

FIFA’s current awards process gives equal weight to four voting groups: national-team captains, national-team coaches, journalists, and fans.

Each voter ranks three candidates, and the points are typically awarded as 5 for first, 3 for second, and 1 for third.

Important note

The exact voting page and deadline depend on which FIFA award cycle is open right now, so the official FIFA awards page is the place to check the current round. For World Cup match awards like Player of the Match, FIFA uses a separate match-voting page.

TL;DR

Register on FIFA.com, open the current FIFA awards voting page, pick your top three players, and submit once before the deadline.
