World football’s governing body FIFA will announce the winner of the FIFA Best Male Player of the Year 2022 in a glittering ceremony in Paris on Monday (February 27) night. Legendary Lionel Messi, who led Argentina to their third FIFA World Cup title in 2022, his PSG teammate Kylian Mbappe from France and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema are in race to win the awards, according to shortlists announced earlier this month.
Messi could win his second ‘The Best’ trophy after leading Argentina to their third World Cup title by beating Mbappe’s France in last year’s final in Qatar, scoring seven goals during the tournament and earning his second Golden ball. World Cup Golden Boot winner Mbappe and France’s 2022 Ballon d’Or winner Benzema feature for the first time among the three finalists.
Spain midfielder Alexia Putellas could claim the Best Women’s Player award for the second year in a row despite being sidelined since July with a knee injury. Forward Beth Mead is also nominated after leading England to the Euro 2022 title as the tournament’s leading scorer and best player of the tournament. United States forward Alex Morgan, who was a finalist in 2019, completes the list.
