The Best FIFA Football Awards 2022 are tonight as world football’s governing body crowns the best the game has to offer.
The high-profile honours will be dished out tonight, given to those deemed to have performed the best over the last calendar year. As a result, there is plenty of representation from World Cup winners Argentina and Euro 2022 champions England.
Robert Lewandowski has picked up the men’s award in each of the previous two years, but he is not on the final shortlist this time around. Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema are the three nominated.
