The FIFA Puskás Award is given to the player who scores the most aesthetically significant, or \”most beautiful\”, goal of the calendar year. Until 2018, the winner was decided completely based on voting by fans on FIFA’s official website. After Mohamed Salah won the 2018 award due to biased voting despite not being the favourite, FIFA decided to change the procedure. Now, the award is decided by pundits selected by FIFA, who will choose the winner based on the top three goals.
