The award was first given out in 2015, making this its 10th year.
Voting closes at 09:00 GMT on Monday, 28 October 2024 and the winner will be announced on Tuesday, 26 November on BBC World Service and the BBC Sport website and app.
The five contenders for the BBC World Service accolade were chosen by a panel of experts, including coaches, players, administrators and journalists.
Below is the opportunity to cast your vote, and read more on the five contenders.
Nice, Lille and Paris St-Germain were the big winners on a weekend full of derbies in France.
Evann Guessand’s goal handed Nice a 2-1 win in the Cote d’Azur derby as second-placed Monaco suffered their first loss of the campaign, while Lille claimed a dramatic 2-0 win at Lens thanks to goals from Jonathan David and Mohamed Bayo in the eighth and 11th minutes of injury time.
But leaders PSG remain three points clear after a 3-0 win at third-placed Marseille, who had Amine Harit sent off in the 20th minute. Joao Neves opened the scoring, before an own goal from Leonardo Balerdi and Bradley Barcola’s effort had the victory sealed by half-time.
Elsewhere, Sporting continued their 100% start to the season in Portugal with a 3-0 victory over Famalicao.
On the back of a midweek goal double in the Europa League, Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres was again on the scoresheet to take his record this term to 12 in nine league games.
Third-placed Benfica also claimed three points with Muhammed Kerem Akturkoglu’s hat-trick the standout showing in a 5-0 victory over Rio Ave.
In the Netherlands, PSV stretched their lead at the top to eight points with a resounding 6-0 defeat of PEC Zwolle.
Closest challengers Utrecht were cut further adrift after losing 2-0 at home to Feyenoord, while Ajax are third after a routine 1-0 win at home to Willem II.

CRESTA CAT (1.05 Leicester, nap)
It’s going to be pretty testing at the Midlands track and that’s ideal for this four-year-old who went through the mud like a Massey Ferguson to score at Nottingham last week. A 5lb penalty for that success shouldn’t be enough and he likes to go from the front where he’ll take a lot of pegging back.
HOME FREE (3.28 Ayr, nb)
Was impressive when scoring at Uttoxeter earlier this month. He can score again under Harry Skelton.
NO RETREAT (3.05 Redcar, treble)
He should have won at Windsor last time but he jinked near the line and his jockey couldn’t ride him out fully. He’s had a little break since then and can make up for that here.
HOSTILE HOTELIER (12.47 Ayr)
Completes the Lucky 15. He is a decent hurdler but should make for chasing over this longer trip.

Match of the Day 2 pundits Micah Richards and Stephen Warnock analyse the controversial late penalty awarded to West Ham against Manchester United.
Sainz ceded the lead from pole to Max Verstappen but reclaimed his position at the front on lap nine with a DRS pass on the championship leader into Turn 1.
This was a lead that Sainz continued to build, ensuring that he had plenty of margin to absorb any brief moments of pressure from team-mate Charles Leclerc, or Lando Norris’ late-race push.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Spaniard said that he had been incredibly keen to finish his time at Ferrari on a high with at least one more race win before he moves to Williams for 2025.
“It’s just a matter of that I think everyone knew I wanted one more race win with Ferrari. I felt like I also deserved it,” Sainz said.
“I’ve been driving well all year and I’ve been pushing flat out, keeping my motivation high even in a difficult circumstance, and wanting to give everything for this team.
“I felt like I drove some really good races and one more I had to win. Eventually, it happened and it had to be in Mexico, in front of my family, which is great.
“It doesn’t mean that I’m not going to try and win more. But it had to be here.”

Sainz reckoned that the presence of his family at the race and his confidence with the car led him to feel “something was definitely cooking” in the Mexico weekend.
He admitted that he made his day more difficult by losing position to Verstappen at the start, but crucially had the confidence — and pace — to return the favour on his former team-mate.
“Honestly, it’s one of the best feelings in the world for sure. I felt like after Checo probably they were supporting me,” he added.
“Since I arrived in Mexico, I had a feeling that the win was possible. I knew my family was coming to see me here this weekend. My mum was going to be present. I knew I hadn’t won a race with my mum in front of me.
“My best friends are here, my dad, and I was like ‘there might be something cooking this weekend, and I need to make sure I do everything I can to win this race’.
“Even though I made it a bit difficult with the start, then I made it stick with Max and I enjoyed that race from then onwards.”
