The Middlesex FA are calling on all amateur footballers in the county to submit their goals for the People's Puskas Award. 

Veo, a sports cameras company, announced yesterday that they were hosting a competition for the best goals scored around the world to rival FIFA's annual Puskas Award competition, which rewards the best goal scored in the past year. 

The Middlesex FA have called all amateur footballers across the county to submit any goals they have scored for the People's Puskas, to see if a player has scored a screamer worthy of being crowned the best in the world. 

Veo said in a statement announcing the competition: "Next week, the winner of the FIFA Puskas Award will be announced. It's given to 'the scorer of the most beautiful goal scored in a match by anyone, anywhere in the world – as long as it is captured on film.' 

"We think FIFA might not have seen all of the most beautiful goals scored and filmed in 2022. 

"Last year, talented grassroots ballers across the globe scored 5.7 million goals on Veo. 

"We're the first to admit we haven't seen them all. But we've seen enough to think FIFA may have missed a few contenders. 

"So, we've handpicked 8 grassroots goals worthy of recognition – and a nomination to the #PeoplesPuskas."

The company are now asking for any great goals to be entered into the competition by being tweeted with the hashtag #PeoplesPuskas. 

So, any grassroots footballers who film their games should put forward their best efforts to see if the best goal scored in the world last year occurred in Middlesex.
