Also featured is the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), who won it in its first two editions (2016 and 2017) since FIFA separated the Ballon d’Or award, traditionally awarded by France Football magazine.
In the field of coaches, Scaloni – Copa América champion with the Argentine national team – and Diego Simeone – LaLiga winner with Atlético de Madrid – were left in the race with five other European colleagues. The preselection of the candidates in each category was carried out with the collaboration of a panel of experts in men’s soccer and another in women’s soccer. In the next instance, until December 10, the captains and coaches of each selected member of the Member Associations, plus a group of specialized journalists and another of fans registered on FIFA.com will cast their vote to define the winners. The three most backed by the electronic certification will make up the shortlists that will be announced by FIFA in the first days of next year.
