The best players, coaches, fans – and goals – of last year will be presented at the The Best FIFA Football Awards from 19.00 CET.
Werkself player Patrik Schick will follow the broadcast directly from the BayArena in Leverkusen and will take part in the event via a live video link.

It was the best of his five goals at last summer's 2021 European Championships: Patrik Schick made it 2-0 on 52 minutes in the group match against Scotland with a shot from over 45 yards out. The Werkself number 14 also netted the first goal for the Czech Republic in that game.
Also nominated for the FIFA Puskas Award 2021 are the Argentinian Erich Lamela (Tottenham Hotspur) and the Iranian Mehdi Taremi (FC Porto).
The current holder is the former Werkself player Heung-Min Son who has played for Tottenham Hotspur since his move from Bayer 04 in the summer of 2015. He won the award in 2020.
This year's winner will again be selected by an international jury consisting of a panel of FIFA legends plus fans from all over the world registered on FIFA.com.

The situation ahead of the showdown is clear - and promising. The Bayer 04 U19s host Newcastle United on the sixth and final matchday of the 2025/26 UEFA Youth League phase. A win at the Ulrich Haberland Stadium would see the Werkself go through to the knockout stages of the competition for the first time. Ahead of the clash on Wednesday, 10 December (kick-off: 14:00 CET/livestream on bayer04.de and in the Bayer 04 app), coach Kevin Brok spoke about the successful build-up, his assessment of the match and the danger of underestimating the already eliminated English side.
