The Globe Soccer Awards are awards which acknowledge achievements in football.[2] It is organized by Globe Soccer and involves participation from international football organizations such as FIFA, UEFA, ECA, and major clubs in an annual event held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[3][4]

The annual ceremony of the event is attended by international football players, coaches, and celebrities.[5]

History

Founded in 2010 by Tommaso Bendoni, the first edition of the Globe Soccer Awards started with three categories, expanding to six in 2011 and to ten by 2012.[6] Over the years, the number of awards and categories has increased, mirroring the growth and diversification of global football.[6] The focus on women's football at the Globe Soccer Awards has also increased with specific categories introduced for achievements in women's football.[6]

Selection process

The awards are given to individuals and entities within the football industry for their achievements.[7] The selection process for award recipients involves two stages of voting, where football fans worldwide participate.[8] In the first stage, the public selects the finalists from a set of nominees.[7][8] 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.[7][9][8]
