The final contenders for the best FIFA football awards were announced earlier this week with the winners being crowned in Zurich on 9 January 2017.
The three nominees for best male player in 2016 in alphabetical order are Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal/Real Madrid), Antoine Griezmann (France/Atletico Madrid) and Lionel Messi (Argentina/FC Barcelona). Melanie Behringer (Germany/FC Bayern Munich), Carli Lloyd (USA/Houston Dash) and Marta (Brazil/FC Rosengård) are in the running for best female player.
The candidates for best coaches, man and woman, have also been announced. The contenders are Claudio Ranieri (Italy/Leicester City), Fernando Santos (Portugal/Portuguese national team) and Zinedine Zidane (France/Real Madrid). Jill Ellis (USA/US national team), Silvia Neid (Germany/German national team) and Pia Sundhage (Sweden/Swedish national team) head the women.
The winners of the FIFA awards will be determined through a combined voting process, in which 50 per cent of the decision is based on the votes of captains and head coaches from national teams all around the globe. The other 50 per cent is split between an online public ballot of football fans, and submissions from a selected group of media representatives from all around the world.
The voting procedure for each of the awards has been supervised and monitored by the independent observer PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Switzerland.
In addition, the three nominees for the FIFA Puskás Award 2016 for the “most beautiful goal of the season” have also been announced. The three goals still in the race belong to Marlone (Brazil/Corinthians), Daniuska Rodriguez (Venezuela/Venezuelan under-17 women's national team) and Mohd Faiz Subri (Malaysia/Penang). The public voting on FIFA.com for this category will close on 9 January 2017.
All of the awards, including FIFA Fair Play Award and FIFA Fan Award will be presented at the best FIFA football awards ceremony at the Zurich TPC studios (Technology and Production Center Switzerland AG, 8052 Zurich) on 9 January 2017, which will be streamed live on FIFA.com and FIFA on YouTube.
