The CONCACAF Awards is an association football award given to honor players, match officials and coaches from the North American (CONCACAF) region. It was established in 2013 and was last awarded in 2022, before returning in 2023–24, this time under a seasonal format.
Criteria Players, coaches and referees of any nationality are eligible to be nominated, so long as they meet at least one of the following criteria:
Have played/coached/refereed in an official CONCACAF tournament at club or national level Have played/coached/refereed for a CONCACAF member national team in a FIFA-sanctioned international competition Have played/coached/refereed in a domestic league within CONCACAF's territory.
For each award, an initial shortlist of 20 nominees is established by CONCACAF's 41 Member Associations and CONCACAF competitions' Technical Study Groups.
The final shortlist is voted on by three groups; Member Associations' national team coaches and captains, media, and fans. Each group's votes provides a third of the total outcome.
