Awards ideas

Football awards worth giving out.

Anyone can predict Player of the Season. The fun is in the ones the pundits never hand out: who flops, who gets sacked first, who bottles it in May. Here are 25 and more to steal, then name your own and call the winner.

The trophies nobody
hands out.

Four groups, plenty to nick. The glory ones for the players who ran the season, the villain ones for the arguments, the cult ones for the players you actually love, and the wildcards for everything else. Take the names, or use them as a starting gun and invent your own.

Name it. Call it. Share it.

Steal the names above or write your own. Name three to eight awards, pick a competition from Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Eredivisie, and MLS and more, and choose the player or team you think wins each one. Your take, never scored, built to be shared and argued about. The standard season awards are free for everyone. Inventing your own is a Club Level perk, one payment for the season, never a subscription, and you can try the builder first.

Give the season
its gongs.
