The FIFA Best Awards is scheduled to take place later this evening - as the best men's player and best women's player will be revealed.
Last year, Lionel Messi was crowned the world's best male footballer at FIFA's annual award ceremony in Paris, in recognition for inspiring Argentina to World Cup glory in Qatar.
The 36-year-old is in contention to pick up his third title this year and has been nominated along with Manchester City forward Erling Haaland and Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.
Jenni Hermoso is in line to win the women's best player along with international team-mate Aitana Bonmati - with both playing a key role in their World Cup triumph in Australia.
