Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior and Barcelona’s Aitana Bonmati took top prizes at The Best FIFA Football Awards in Doha, Qatar on Tuesday, with the former winning his first major individual accolade.

Vinicius was one of the few winners to receive his prize in person, with Real Madrid visiting the Qatari capital ahead of Wednesday’s Intercontinental Cup final against Mexico’s Pachuca. The Brazil international was a focal point of Madrid’s UEFA Champions League and La Liga titles in the 2023-24 season, which also made him a favorite for the Ballon d’Or. Vinicius notably won FIFA’s Best Men’s Player award after finishing second in the Ballon d’Or voting behind Manchester City’s Rodri, with Real Madrid controversially boycotting the October ceremony in Paris after discovering he would not win the prize.

Spain international Bonmati, meanwhile, won the FIFA Best Player award for the second year in a row, matching her haul with the Ballon d’Or. She was part of the Barcelona team that won the UEFA Women’s Champions League and the Liga F title in the 2023-24 season.

Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid and Emma Hayes of the United States women’s national team won the coaching awards, while Argentina international Emiliano Martinez and recently retired USWNT star Alyssa Naeher won the goalkeeping awards beginning. Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho won the FIFA Puskas Award for the best men’s goal, while Marta was the first recipient of the FIFA Marta Award, which is the women’s equivalent of the Puskas Award.

Here is the complete list of winners for the 2024 ceremony.
