Asisat Oshoala has been recognized for her incredible acrobatic strike for Barcelona Femeni against Benfica in the Women’s Champions League in November 2023.

Her goal earned her a nomination for the newly introduced Marta Award, which celebrates the best goal in women’s football.

In the global stage for the Best FIFA Men’s Player, Rodri and Vinicius Junior will vie for the top prize alongside stars like Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, Toni Kroos, and Federico Valverde.

Rodri’s crowning as the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner in October has already set the stage for another intense competition.
