This year, a new male winner is guaranteed.

Ousmane Dembélé is currently the leading contender for the award following PSG's victory in the Champions League, alongside him in the running are Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Mohamed Salah.

The Copa trophy will honor the best young player under 21, while the Yashin trophy will recognize the best male and female goalkeepers.
