Golden Boy 2025 Nominees FM24 Shortlist

The list of nominated players for the 2025 Golden Boy award is spread over multiple voting rounds until the final round with 20 players.

The first round included 100 players, the second round added 12 new (while removing others), and we're currently into the third round where 9 more players were added. I'll keep updating the file until the final round is reached.

I created this FM24 shortlist for you to download and import it right away in your FM 2024 saves.

All nominees must be under the age of 21 and play in a European nation's top tier.

The prize was established by Italian sports newspaper Tuttosport in 2003. Newspapers that now participate in voting include Bild (Germany), Blick (Switzerland), A Bola (Portugal), l'Équipe (France), France Football (France), Marca (Spain), Mundo Deportivo (Spain), Ta Nea (Greece), Sport Express (Russia), De Telegraaf (Netherlands), and The Times (United Kingdom).
