According to Mundo Deportivo's Paris correspondent Dani Gil, FIFA has not yet informed the players who will win the award. The organization asked Messi, Mbappe and Benzema to attend the award ceremony.

We would like to add that The Best award has been presented since 2016, after France Football reclaimed the Ballon d'Or award.

The last winner of The Best award was Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.
