Barcelona<\/a> teenager Yamal’s goal was scored against Espanyol<\/a> in May — a trademark curling left-foot shot after running across the defense from the right flank.<\/p>\n Marta’s goal came in the semifinals of last year’s NWSL playoffs. She got the ball in the center circle then sprinted and dribbled past two defenders, rounded the goalkeeper and scored into an empty net to help the Orlando Pride<\/a> beat the Kansas City Current<\/a> to advance to the NWSL championship.<\/p>\n FIFA picked 11 nominees for each award which is voted for in equal blocs by fans online and a group of former international players.<\/p>\n The deadline for voting is Dec. 3. It is unclear if FIFA will present the award two days later at the men’s World Cup tournament draw being held in the presence of U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n Nominees for the men’s award include Arsenal’s Declan Rice<\/a> for his free kick against Real Madrid<\/a> in the Champions League quarterfinals and Lucas Ribeiro running solo from the center spot to score for Mamelodi Sundowns<\/a> against Borussia Dortmund<\/a> at the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n Ally Sentnor’s swerving shot for the United States<\/a> against Colombia<\/a> at the SheBelieves Cup<\/a> is nominated for the Marta Award. So is Vivianne Miedema’s floated shot for the Netherlands<\/a> against Wales<\/a> at the Women’s European Championship.<\/p>\n Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nov 13, 2025, 02:24 PM ET Lamine Yamal was nominated Thursday for the FIFA Puskas Award as the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289848,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-289847","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Lamine Yamal celebrates scoring for Barcelona against Espanyol in May.\u00a0Joan Valls\/Urbanandsport\/NurPhoto via Getty Images<\/p>\n
