This Monday the sixth edition of The Best FIFA awards ceremony takes place, since its birth in 2016, when FIFA decided to separate from France Football and the Ballon d'Or to present its own awards. The award ceremony will begin at 7:00 p.m. (in Spain), in a different edition from the others due to the current pandemic.

The three male candidates who opt for FIFA The Best 2021 are the Argentine Leo Messi (Paris Saint-Germain and former FC Barcelona), the Polish Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) and the Egyptian Mohamed Salah (Liverpool). On this occasion, there is no clear favourite, but everything points to 'LaPulga' winning the trophy again. In the women's category, Barça has two great representatives: Alexia Putellas and Jenni Hermoso, who will face the Chelsea player, Sam Kerr.

In addition to these two recognitions, the awards for the Best FIFA Men's Football Coach, the Best FIFA Women's Football Coach, the Best FIFA Goalkeeper, the Best FIFA Goalkeeper, the Puskás for the Best Goal, the Best FIFA Fan Award and the FIFA Fair Play Award.

As happens every season, 'FCBN' will offer you the full coverage of the event live. In addition, FIFA, the organizer of the ceremony, once again throws itself into its gala and will make everything that happens during the act available to all fans, on its YouTube channel.
