[Sport] With Leo Messi and Julián Álvarez, but with key absences from Argentina: the nominees for The Best awards

[FNX Magokiler]

This Thursday, FIFA announced the candidates for The Best awards, which will award the best player, female and male coach, goalkeeper, and fan. In the first candidacy, Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez are on the roster, but there are key absences for the Argentine National Team that undoubtedly draw attention, such as Lionel Scaloni and Emiliano Martínez.

The Argentine attackers from Inter Miami and Manchester City respectively will compete alongside ten other big names to win the statuette for best footballer, including figures such as: Kilyan Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Keving De Bruyne and Rodri, among others.

Without a doubt, another name that the Argentines looked for among the nominees is that of Lionel Scaloni, the coach of the Argentine National Team, who is not even among the five coaches they selected for recognition. The same thing happens with Dibu Martínez, key in the Albiceleste's goal, in the category that highlights goalkeepers. Another name that generated controversy on social networks for not being among the candidates for the best player is Vinicius Junior, important at Real Madrid.

The winners of The Best Awards will be chosen by an international jury made up of national team captains, coaches, journalists and fans from around the world. The public voting period is open in several categories and to do so you must enter the official FIFA website.
