The nominees for The Best FIFA Football Awards -- the clunkiest-named of all the major individual awards -- have been announced and with them the 11 most exceptional goals scored last year that will vie for the 2022 Puskas Award.
The shortlist is impressively varied and features a collection of superb strikes scored all across the world in both the men's and women's game; from the finals of the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Women's Champions League to matches in the AFC Under-23 Asian Cup and the Polish amputee soccer league.
Now forming part of The Best FIFA awards gala, the Puskas Award is bestowed annually to the scorer of the most beautiful goal in a match by anyone, anywhere in the previous calendar year -- as long as it is captured on film. An initial public vote whittles the list down to a final three before FIFA's panel of experts decide on an outright winner.
Here are the nominees for the FIFA Puskás Award â½ï¸
