Mohammed Kudus’ breathtaking solo goal against Freiburg in last season’s Europa League has earned him a coveted spot on the Puskas Award 2024 nominee list.
In a moment of pure brilliance, the Ghanaian star darted past a flurry of Freiburg defenders from his own half before coolly finishing with his weaker foot—a goal that became a defining moment in West Ham United’s campaign and earned him the club’s Goal of the Season honor.
Kudus now joins an elite list of nominees, competing with standout strikes from across the globe. Representing Africa alongside him are Nigeria’s Paul Onuachu, Uganda’s Dennis Omedi, and Algeria’s Yassine Benzia.
Other notable nominees include:
- Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United) – Overhead kick vs. Everton
- Federico DiMarco (Inter Milan) – Stunning volley
- Hassan Al Haydos (Qatar) – Long-range stunner
- Terry Antonis (Australia), Walter Bou (Argentina), Michaell Chirinos (Honduras), and Jaden Philogene (Hull City) round out the impressive list.
The winner will be crowned during the FIFA Awards ceremony in January 2025, where fans and football enthusiasts worldwide will celebrate the best goal of the year.
