Best Footballer in Asia 2024

The Best Footballer in Asia 2024, recognizing the best male footballer in Asia in 2024, was the 12th edition of the Best Footballer in Asia. Akram Afif claimed the award on 21 October 2024. It was the first time that the Best Footballer in Asia was awarded to a player from West Asia. The event was judged by a panel of sixty-three sports journalists. Akram Afif received 18 first-place votes, 13 second-place votes, 2 third-place votes, 8 fourth-place votes, 3 fifth-place votes and finished on 181 points in total.

Due to the change of its calendar in line with the new Asian football calendar, the Best Footballer in Asia 2024, as a transitional edition, only takes account of the time range between January, 1st, 2024 to 15 August 2024 (rather than a whole calendar year as before).
