The annual ceremony of the event is attended by international football players, coaches, and celebrities.[7] The ceremony has been criticised for perceived bias towards Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won a record six Best Player of the Year Awards.

History

Founded in 2010 by Tommaso Bendoni, and co-owned by Ricardo Silva, the first edition of the Globe Soccer Awards started with three categories, expanding to six in 2011 and ten by 2012.[8] Over the years, the number of awards and categories has increased, mirroring the growth and diversification of global football.[8] The focus on women's football at the Globe Soccer Awards has also increased with specific categories introduced for achievements in women's football.[8]

Criticism

The award has been criticized for alleged favoritism towards Cristiano Ronaldo.[9]

Selection process

The awards are given to individuals and entities within the football industry for their achievements.[10] The selection process for award recipients involves two stages of voting, where football fans worldwide participate.[11] In the first stage, the public selects the finalists from a set of nominees.[10][11] In the second stage, the final decision is made by both public votes and a jury comprising football professionals such as journalists, agents, coaches, and ex-players.[10][12][11]
