The gala dinner at Fairmont Katara Hall comes on the eve of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final between PSG and Flamengo. Winners of The Best FIFA Men’s and Women’s Player, Coach, and Goalkeeper awards will be announced, alongside the FIFA Women’s and Men’s 11. Fans cast over 16 million votes, with results decided by an equal split between supporters, national team captains and coaches, and media.

Other honours include the FIFA Marta Award, the FIFA Puskás Award for best goals, the Fan Award, and the Fair Play Award. Around 800 guests, including FIFA President Gianni Infantino, FIFA Council members, legends, and ambassadors, will attend the celebration.
