Mohammed Kudus’ incredible goal against Freiburg earned him a nomination for the 2024 FIFA Puskás Award.
Ghanaian international and West Ham United winger Mohammed Kudus has earned a prestigious 2024 FIFA Puskás Award nomination. This nomination comes in recognition of his stunning solo goal against Freiburg in the UEFA Europa League earlier this year.
Kudus’ remarkable goal, which occurred during West Ham’s 5-0 victory over Freiburg in the round of 16, showcased his exceptional dribbling skills and composure.
Starting from his own half, Kudus weaved past multiple Freiburg defenders before slotting the ball into the net with his weaker foot. This goal not only highlighted his technical prowess but also his ability to perform under pressure.
The Puskás Award, named after the legendary Hungarian footballer Ferenc Puskás, celebrates the most beautiful goal of the year. Kudus’ nomination places him among an elite group of footballers recognized for their extraordinary goals.
This nomination is a significant milestone in Kudus’ career, reflecting his growing influence and talent on the international stage. The FIFA Football Awards in January 2025 will announce the winner, allowing fans and football enthusiasts to vote for their favorite goal.
