Fifa’s The Best awards ceremony will be held this evening as a virtual event due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The original awards ceremony was supposed to happen in September before the organisers scheduled it to the new date.
National team captains and coaches, 200 journalists as well as an online ballot of fans took part in the voting for the winners.
How to watch the Awards Ceremony?
The ceremony is set to start at 20:00 CAT, and FIFA will broadcast the event live across its various media channels. This includes streams on the official FIFATV YouTube channel, the FIFA website, and the awards’ dedicated Facebook page.
