The 2023 Globe Soccer Awards were the 14th edition of the annual Globe Soccer Awards, held on 19 January 2024 at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The ceremony was held in partnership with the Dubai Sports Council and took place alongside the 18th Dubai International Sports Conference.
Norwegian striker Erling Haaland won the Best Men's Player of the Year award, while Spanish midfielder Aitana Bonmatí won the Best Women's Player of the Year award. Cristiano Ronaldo won three individual awards, including the Maradona Award, while Manchester City collected six awards at the ceremony.
Voting system and selection process The 2023 Globe Soccer Awards used a two-stage voting process combining a global public vote with the assessment of the Globe Soccer Official Jury. The first stage consisted of public voting, through which football fans from around the world voted for nominees in the various award categories. The results of this stage were used to determine the finalists who advanced to the final round of voting.
The final stage combined the public vote with the assessment of the Globe Soccer Official Jury. The jury consisted of prominent figures from international football, including former players, coaches, sporting directors and club officials. Among the members were Francesco Totti, Iker Casillas, Luis Figo, Antonio Conte and Marcello Lippi.
The organisers reported more than 27 million votes during the finalist-selection stage, while the overall 2023 voting campaign attracted more than 70 million votes.
