Virtually, the best

The Best FIFA Football Awards™ 2020, held as a virtual event at the Home of FIFA in Zurich, crowned two household names, Lucy Bronze and Robert Lewandowski, as the game’s outstanding women’s and men’s players.

I would like to share this trophy with my club, my president (Jean-Michel Aulas). It’s thanks to them that I am here today. I worked a lot, but they gave me everything I needed to reach the top level.
Sarah Bouhaddi
The Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper

Netherlands women’s national-team boss Sarina Wiegman was named The Best FIFA Women’s Coach for the second time in her career following her 2017 success. Meanwhile, Jürgen Klopp claimed The Best FIFA Men’s Coach Award for the second consecutive year, having steered Liverpool to the English Premier League title for the first time, 30 years after their last top-flight success.


Germany and Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer was chosen as The Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper, while France and Olympique Lyonnais’ Sarah Bouhaddi capped her amazing career with The Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper Award.

FIFA Fan Award

Marivaldo Francisco da Silva (Brazil)

With no money to pay for transport, Marivaldo walks for 12 hours, crossing three cities, to watch his team Sport Recife’s home matches.

FIFA Fair Play Award

Mattia Agnese (Italy)

During a game, Mattia, a 17-year-old from Ospedaletti (in the Liguria region), saw an opponent fall to the ground and lose consciousness. He did not hesitate for a moment, rushing to the player’s aid, getting him into a safe position and ultimately saving his life before help arrived.

Often in the football world, there is a tendency to see the opponent as the worst enemy, but in reality, respect and sportsmanship should be the fundamental values of this sport.
