FIFA Puskás Award

The FIFA Puskás Award [ˈpuʃkaːʃ] is an award established on 20 October 2009 by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), at the behest of then-president Sepp Blatter, to be awarded to the male or female judged to have scored the most aesthetically significant, or "most beautiful", goal of the calendar year.

The award is in honour of Ferenc Puskás, the striker of Real Madrid during the late 1950s and the 1960s, and central member of the highly successful Hungarian side of the same era. Puskás is widely considered by many to be the most powerful and prolific forward European football produced in first-division football, and was honoured by IFFHS in 1997 as the best top-tier goalscorer of the 20th century. Puskás scored 511 goals in 533 games and his 84 national team's goals in 85 outings was a world record at the time.^[1]^[2]

"It is important to preserve the memory of those footballing greats who have left their mark on our history. Ferenc Puskás was not only a player with immense talent who won many honours, but also a remarkable man. FIFA is therefore delighted to pay tribute to him by dedicating this award to his memory," said Blatter at the inauguration of the award in Budapest.^{[citation needed]}

Until 2018, the winner was decided completely based on voting by fans on FIFA's official website.^[3] However, after a controversy in the 2018 award,^[4] FIFA changed the procedure. Now, the award is decided by pundits selected by FIFA, who will choose the winner based on the top three goals voted for by the public.

The time-frame for the first award was July 2008 to July 2009. The annual award was presented for the first time during the 2009 FIFA World Player of the Year Gala on 21 December in Switzerland, with Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo being the first prize winner.

Award criteria[]

It should be an absolutely beautiful goal (subjective, but decided by voting and judgement from experts — the spread of goals should include long-range shots, team goals, rabona, overhead kicks, individual plays, etc.).^{[citation needed]}
It should be awarded "without distinction of championship, gender or nationality".^[5]
It should not be the result of luck, mistakes, deflection by another player or the player in an offside position.^{[citation needed]}
It should support fair play, i.e. the player should not have behaved badly in the game or have been charged with doping, for example.^{[citation needed]}
The player cannot be nominated with two different goals.^{[citation needed]}
