Created in 2009 in honour of the late Ferenc Puskas, captain and star of the Hungarian national team during the 1950s, the FIFA Puskas Award is bestowed upon the player adjudged to have scored the best goal of the year.

The criteria are fairly simple: an aesthetically beautiful goal, awarded without distinction of championship, gender or nationality.
