Men's Ballon d'Or

Dembele triumphed this year, but can he do so again? Will it be Lamine Yamal's time, or Kylian Mbappe's trophy at last?

Women's Ballon d'Or

Bonmati is a three-time repeat champion, so can anyone stop her dominance next year? Perhaps team-mate Alexia Putellas? Or someone from the WSL?

Men's Kopa Trophy

Yamal has won in back-to-back years and, incredibly, he is still eligible for the award. Many expect him to have a big year for Barcelona and Spain, so he may prove to be an unstoppable force.

Women's Kopa Trophy

Barcelona starlet Vicky Lopez was the inaugural winner of the award on Monday night and, like Yamal, she is eligible for the award again in 2026. There will be plenty of others in what should be a tightly-fought race.

Men's Yashin Trophy

Gianluigi Donnarumma's heroics for Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League saw him pick up the award, but who will triumph this season in a very competitive field?

Women's Yashin Trophy

Hannah Hampton's penalty magic at the European Championship saw her become the first winner of this award and she will be hoping to defend her title with another strong season.

Men's Coach of the Year

This is going to be a close battle. Do you give more weight to the Champions League-winning boss, or the one who wins the World Cup...

Women's Coach of the Year

This one is likely to be based on which coach wins the Champions League, with no World Cup on the women's side.

Men's Club of the Year

This will likely come down to who you think is going to win the Champions League.

Women's Club of the Year

And the same scenario - which club are you backing?
