Lookman, who ranked 14th in the 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremony,
was shortlisted in the Best Attacker category alongside Vinicius Junior, Lamine
Yamal, Bukayo Saka, Erling Haaland, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, among
others.

Troost-Ekong will compete in the Best Defender category
against Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rüdiger, William Saliba, Achraf Hakimi, Manuel
Akanji, Jonathan Tah and many more.

Oshoala was nominated for the newly introduced Marta Award
for the best goal in women’s football. The 30-year-old’s acrobatic strike for
Barcelona Femeni against Benfica in the women’s Champions League in November
2023 got the nod.

Rodri and Vinicius will again go against each other for the
men’s best player award. The duo were nominated alongside nine other players,
including Jude Bellingham, Mbappe, Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde.

Rodri was crowned the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner in October, a
decision that was met with mixed excitement and criticism from fans and
footballers alike.

Votes for the 2024 FIFA Best awards will be weighted equally
between fans and an expert panel. Fans can cast their votes on the FIFA website
until 10 December 2024.
