The Mr. Football World award is one of the most prestigious awards in soccer and is presented annually by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS). The award recognizes the player who has excelled in soccer over the past year.
The World Footballer of the Year Award was established with the aim of motivating soccer players to achieve outstanding results in the game and to improve the level and quality of soccer. Through a fair and transparent selection mechanism, it rewards those players who have performed well in the past year and encourages them to continue their efforts and make greater contributions to the cause of soccer.
Match Performance: A player's performance in various matches is one of the important criteria for selection. This includes the number of goals, assists, and defensive performances in various tournaments such as league, cup, and international matches.
LEADERSHIP: The ability of a player in the role of soccer captain or leader to lead the team is also a consideration in the selection. A player's leadership style, team spirit, and performance in critical moments are all taken into consideration.
Individual honors: Individual honors won by a player in the past year, such as the Ballon d'Or and the European Golden Boot, will also have an impact on the selection.
Team Achievements: The performance of the team to which the player belongs in the past year is also one of the important reference factors for the selection. The player's team's league standings, cup results, and performance in international matches are all taken into consideration.
Nomination Stage: IFFHS will invite experts, media personalities and football-related organizations from around the world to nominate candidates.
Voting: After the nomination phase, IFFHS will announce the shortlist and conduct a worldwide voting. Expert judges, soccer journalists, fans and others can participate in the voting.
Counting of votes: Based on the results of the voting, the IFFHS will count the votes and finalize the winner. Usually, the player who receives the highest number of votes will be awarded the Mr. World Football award.
AWARDS CEREMONY: The eventual winners will accept their awards at a formal ceremony and share their success stories with key figures in the soccer world and fans.
The World Footballer of the Year award is not only a recognition of a player's individual achievement, but also an affirmation of the overall level of the soccer game. The player who wins the award will become the focus of the soccer world, and his or her performance and achievements will inspire more young players to pursue their soccer dreams and promote the development and progress of the sport. Through the selection of the World Footballer of the Year award, the soccer community is able to more comprehensively and fairly recognize and honor those players who have excelled in the field of soccer. This not only brings honor and encouragement to individual players, but also injects new vitality and impetus into the development of the sport of soccer.
