The Best Fifa Awards 2025 live: Fifa to crown top footballers of the year in ceremony today

Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero and Swiss actress and model Melanie Winiger will host the ceremony tonight.

Del Piero is the Italy men’s national team’s second-highest goalscorer and won six Serie A titles with Juve, and he was nominated for prestigious individual awards including the Ballon d’Or and Fifa World Player of the Year during his career.

Here’s a brief reminder of when the awards take place, with coverage starting in around five minutes on Fifa+.

The annual ceremony takes place tonight in Doha, Qatar, and will be streamed live from 5pm GMT on Fifa’s official website.

Lizbeth Ovalle has won the 2025 FIFA Marta Award for the best goal in the women’s game.

The Mexico winger produced a superb scorpion-kick finish for Tigres against Guadalajara in Liga MX Femenil in March.

Argentinian winger Santiago Montiel has won the men’s Puskas Award for best goal.

The 25-year-old, who plays for Independiente in his native Argentina, scored an incredible bicycle kick against Independiente Rivadavia back in May in the country’s domestic league.

All-star teams – the Best Fifa men’s and women’s XI – will also be announced at the ceremony, determined purely by fan votes.

The Fifa Fan Award is another up for grabs, given to an individual or group of supporters who “help make the beautiful game exactly that”, in Fifa’s words.
