FIFA has announced the names of the eleven players who will be the new winners of the Puskas Award.
The creation of the award bearing Ferenc Puskas’s name was announced on 20 October 2009 by Sepp Blatter, then FIFA President, at the Puskas Academy. For the first time in December 2009, at the FIFA ceremony in Zurich, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo received the Goal of the Year award from Ferenc Puskas. Ten years later, the prize was awarded to Daniel Tsori, the youngest Puskás Prize winner, as the first Hungarian. On 16 February 2019, as a DVSC player, the Hungarian player came on as a substitute against Ferencvaros and scored the winning goal in the last minute. Recently, the Polish amputee, Marcin Oleksiy, received this honor.
