The FIFA Puskás Award [ˈpuʃkaːʃ] is an association football award that is organized by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The award was created in 2009, in order to award the male or female judged to have scored the most aesthetically significant, or "most beautiful", goal of a year. The Puskás award is announced yearly and is decided by voting.

The award is named after former Real Madrid striker Ferenc Puskás. Puskás played during the 1950s and 1960s, and was part of the Hungarian "golden team".

The voting was done by fans of the sport until 2018 on FIFA's official website.^[1] This was changed after a controversy with the 2018 edition of the award,^[2] and is now decided by pundits selected by FIFA.

Award criteria

It should not be the result of luck, mistakes, deflection by another player or the player in an offside position.^[source?]
