2023 World Soccer Talk Awards: Open call for nominations

It’s that time of year when the season comes to an end and it’s an opportunity to reflect on an incredible year of football from around the world. It’s not just the games themselves, but all of the remarkable pundits, podcasts, written words and other coverage that contribute to our enjoyment of the sport. But before we kick off the 2023 World Soccer Talk Awards on June 1st, we need your help to ensure we don’t miss out on any nominees.

Thats how it works. Our panel of experts selected the nominees for all categories. Voting begins June 1st and runs through June 30th. However, if we missed any notable nominees, let us know in the comments section between today and May 31 at midnight. Our panel will consider any recommendation.
