The Concacaf Awards, which began in 2013 and will be presented for the sixth time, recognize players, coaches, and referees at all age levels, who have excelled in Concacaf and FIFA-sanctioned tournaments involving the Confederation’s national teams and clubs.

Fans can vote at Concacaf.com/awards. Voting will close on Tuesday, January 8, 2019 at 8:59 p.m. PT.

Voting for the Concacaf Awards is a thorough process involving key stakeholders from the Confederation. The winners of each category shall be selected by the following 4 groups: 

Each Voting Group shall have the same electoral weight (25% each) in the final result irrespective of the actual number of voters in those groups. All voters should base their judgement on performances by the nominees from January 1, 2018 to December 10, 2018. 

 

Final votes in each of the categories will be tallied and the winners will be announced January 2019, via Concacaf.com.
