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.[3]

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.[1]

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.[3][2]
