The People's Puskas Award, launched by Danish company Veo, seeks to celebrate beautiful goals scored at the grassroots level, contrasting FIFA's Puskas Award, which historically favors elite players. The inaugural winner was Welsh amateur Mason Evans for his volley in 2023. In 2024, over 2,000 participant goals were captured, with the final eight candidates representing diverse amateur contributions from across the globe, allowing public voting to choose this year's winner. This initiative exemplifies the inclusion of grassroots talent within the world of soccer.
The People's Puskas Award aims to spotlight beautiful goals scored at grassroots levels, moving beyond elite leagues which typically dominate FIFA's Puskas Award, evidencing the passion across all football.
Veo's initiative recognizes the artistry in goals from nonleague and amateur games, emphasizing an inclusive celebration of talent in soccer, which often goes unseen.
