   This study introduces the Spherical Fermatean Neutrosophic Sets (SFNSs), representing a significant advancement in the realm of Neutrosophic Sets (NSs) and Fermatean neutrosophic sets (FNSs). In decision making scenarios involving diverse perspectives, a mere average of decision values may fail to capture the entire spectrum of viewpoints. To address this limitation, the SFNS is proposed as a comprehensive solution. It features a spherical representation that encompasses membership, non-membership and indeterminacy functions at its core, complemented by a defined radius. This spherical construct facilitates the encapsulation of all decision makers’ opinions within its bounds, providing a holistic perspective. Leveraging its geometric structure, the SFNS excels in resolving ambiguity and risk with greater accuracy and effectiveness compared to conventional FNSs. This innovative approach aims to better accommodate the complexities of decision making involving diverse perspectives. Selecting the best material for a structural engineering project is given as numerical example at the end.
