The FIFA Puskás Award is awarded by FIFA to the most brilliant goal of the season. The award named after the goal scorer of the century, Hungarian Ferenc Puskás (512 goals in 528 career matches), was established by FIFA in 2009. Cristiano Ronaldo was the winner of the inaugural award followed next year by Hamit Altintop. This year’s shortlist of the top 10 goals has been made.
The final list of the top 3 goals will be announced on 5th December (2 days from now!). You will then have until the FIFA Ballon d’Or Gala 2011 on 9th January to vote for the winner.
Criteria:
•It should be a beautiful goal (subjective — the spread of goals should include long-range shots, team goals, overhead kicks, individual plays, etc.).
•The importance of the match should be taken into account (objective — limited to "A" international teams, confederation championships and national top-division club matches: the more important the goal, the better).
•The goal should not be the result of luck, mistakes or a deflection by a teammate or the other team.
•The goal should support fair play, i.e. the player should not have behaved badly in the game or have been charged with doping, for example.
