FIFA announced their shortlist for the Best FIFA Men's Player of the Year Award. Last year's winner Cristiano Ronaldo has again been nominated after guiding Real Madrid to a Champions League, La Liga double. His main rival, Barcelona's Lionel Messi, has also been nominated with former team-mate Neymar, who moved to Paris St. Germain for a world record fee this summer.

Last year was the inaugural edition of the Best FIFA Football Awards, which is aimed at reviving FIFA's own award for the world's best player.
