It caps off a dream year for the Paris 2024 Olympian, having won the Ballon D’Or in October and now collecting the top FIFA individual award, both of which the midfielder has won for the second year in a row.

On the topic of Olympians, the legendary Marta was the recipient of the inaugural eponymous accolade, the Marta Award, which celebrates the goal of the year in women’s football.

The men’s equivalent is the Puskas Award, and that was won by Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho for his stunning overhead kick in their 3-0 Premier League win against Everton in November 2023.

At the awards ceremony in Qatar, the men’s and women’s teams of the year were also announced.

The men’s XI featured three players from Euro 2024 winners Spain: Ballon D’Or winner Rodri, captain Dani Carvajal and young player of the tournament Lamine Yamal.
