After leading Argentina to World Cup victory in 2022, Messi was awarded the award. Following that success, he won the Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain alongside Mbappe before joining Major League Soccer club Inter Miami.
The shortlist for the women’s best player includes two 2023 World Cup champions from Spain, Aitana Bonmati and Jennifer Hermoso, as well as Linda Caicedo from Colombia.
The winners will be announced on Jan. 15 in London, England.
