Seven Gunners have been nominated for The Best FIFA Football Awards 2025, and your votes can help them win the big prizes!
The awards reward achievements during the 2024/25 season
We have four nominees for The Best FIFA Women’s Player award, with Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo and Leah Williamson recognised for their achievements in winning the Champions League at club level, as well as Euro 2025 with England. Mariona Caldentey - winner of the WSL Player of the Year accolade last season - is also included in the 17-player shortlist.
Mikel Arteta is a contender for The Best FIFA Men’s Coach after guiding us to second in the Premier League and the semi-finals of the Champions League, while Renée Sleger’s exploits of clinching our second European crown in his first season as our head coach rightfully see her on the women’s list.
David Raya’s heroics between our posts, which saw him retain the Premier League Golden Glove last term, have seen him nominated for The Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper prize.
The winners will be chosen by a panel composed of the current national team coaches and captains, journalists representing each team's territory, and fan votes on FIFA.com. The voting period will end on November 28, and you can help our Gunners by voting for them now.
