Facebook has launched its own football awards so supporters from across the world can vote for their favorite players, managers and clubs.

The straightforwardly-named Facebook Football Awards give fans the chance to vote for Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year, Manager of The Year, Club of the Year, and Content of the Year. You can also pick your favorite line-up for the BT Sport Best XI prize

Off the pitch, there are awards for Football Fan of the Year (sponsored by the Mirror), and for the club and player who made the best use of Facebook during the season.

Voting is open now and runs until May 11, through the Football on Facebook page or through BT Sport and Mirror Football, who have partnered with Facebook for the event.
