Ultimate list of ALL Puskas Award contenders for 23/24 🔥

Every year, the most beautiful goals of the season are collated into a cauldron of scorchers, with a panel of pundits studiously debating which screamer deserves this year's FIFA Puskás Award.

The awards were launched in 2009, the name itself a homage to legendary Real Madrid forward, Ferenc Puskás, who was a key part of Hungary's pioneering Golden Team.

Ferenc Puskás was both a great goalscorer and a scorer of great goals, hence why FIFA decided to name the Puskas Awards after the Hungarian legend.

We have collated the ultimate guide to the potential contenders of the Puskas Awards, with the ceremony set to take place in January 2025.

Jaden Philogene

Hull City were drawing 1-1 in a wet and windy away game at Rotherham United. 71 minutes in, Jaden Philogene intercepts a risky pass across the box from the opposition defender. Philogene proceeds to nutmeg the defender then checks back, sits the defender down, and strikes the ball with a 'rabona' into the top corner.

Danny Mota

If overhead kicks are your thing, here is Serie A's Danny Mota with an audacious attempt which will surely make him a Puskás contender for 2023/24.

Alejandro Garnacho

Fans hadn't even taken their seats before Marcus Rashford picked the ball up on the right wing, and played in Diogo Dalot on the overlap, who then floated in a slightly overhit cross from the byline.

This was the type of cross which 9.99 times out of 10, results in a turnover of possession, but Alejandro Garnacho does the absolute unthinkable, and adjusts his body for an audacious bicycle kick.

Patrick Bamford

Leeds striker Patrick Bamford scored this stunning volley in the FA, wrong-footing the goalkeeper and defender with his first touch. A stunning strike and worthy of being included in this year's FIFA Puskás Awards.

Mohammed Kudus

West Ham's Mohammed Kudus scored a stunning bicycle kick against Premier League champions which he set up himself. Take a look at Kudus' Puskás Award contender:

Sandro Wolfinger

Lichtenstein international Sandro Wolfinger with this stunning volley is a contender to win the FIFA Puskás Awards.

Thiago Santana

J-League star Thiago Santana scores a stunning strike from the halfway line, making his goal a possible contender for the Puskás Awards.

Mikael Severo

Another Brazillian on the list, Mikael Severo scored this stunning overhead kick in Hong Kong's Premier League.

Harry Kane

During what was a ridiculous game of football, which saw three red cards before half-time, Harry Kane picked the ball up just before the halfway line.

Kane sees goalkeeper, Marcel Schuhen, in a very advanced sweeper-keeper position, and decides to go for a long-range effort which beautifully swerves in.

Moises Caicedo

Want another halfway-line goal? Here is Chelsea's Moises Caicedo making himself a Puskás Award contender with this stunning strike.

That concludes our definitive list of Puskas contenders, with the winning goal set to be announced in January 2025. Winning the Puskas Award for some players can be their career highlight and a chance to get their name into the history books.
