Among the most coveted awards, the one for the best goal of last season, which currently sees the spectacular goals of Rafael Leao against Atalanta, of Ruslan Malinovskyi against Frosinone and of Marcus Thuram in the derby.
With voting still open until midnight on November 24, the competition remains tight and every preference can make a difference. The provisional podium was announced during the press conference to present the event, underlining the importance of an event that celebrates the best talents of the Serie A.
The Grand Gala, organized by theItalian Footballers Association (AIC) with the collaboration of the DA Agency of Demetrius Albertini, provides prizes for the top 11 of the season, the best coach, the best referee, the best club and, of course, the best goal.

The peculiarity of the Gran Galà lies in the fact that the winners are chosen directly by the protagonists of Italian football: "It's a process that unites us," added Calcagno. "This year there was great indecision, with votes fought right up until the last minute to award the awards."
For the general director of the AIC, John Grazioli, the event represents a symbol of meritocracy: "The audience that selects the winners is exceptional. We believe the Grand Gala is even more valuable than the Ballon d'Or, because it rewards merit on the field and the choices are the result of votes among those who live football every day." Among the most anticipated moments, the announcement of the top 11 of the season, defined through a vote that saw close battles even for a few votes. "One team will certainly be a great protagonist," Grazioli anticipated.
The evening will be hosted again this year by Federica Masolin e Fabio Caressa, with live broadcast on Sky Sports. "It is a source of pride to organize this football celebration," declared Demetrio Albertini. "This event represents the best of our sport, putting its protagonists in the spotlight."
