The FIFA Fan Prize is an award that has been presented annually by FIFA since 2016 as part of “ The Best FIFA Football Awards ”. It is intended to honor "an outstanding action by supporters of one or more clubs". It is awarded across all leagues, countries, genders and fan groups. In this way, fans of several national teams or individual fans can win, regardless of the league the team belongs to.
