Overview
France Football decided to end their partnership with Fifa this year and thus, there will be two awards, the Ballon d'Or and the Best Fifa Men's Player Award. The former was won by Ronaldo in December and the Portuguese international is the favourite to win the award on Monday.
The 31-year-old helped Real win the Champions League after defeating Atletico in the final. It was followed by success with the national team as Portugal went on to beat France to win the European championship. Griezmann was with Atletico and France, where he lost both the finals.
At the ceremony, the Best Fifa Women's Player Award, Best Fifa Men's Coach Award, Best Fifa Women's Coach Award, Fifa Puskas Award 2016, Fifa Fair Play Award and Fifa Fan Award will also be announced in Zurich.
The fans will vote for the winner of the Puskas Award and Fan Award. However, for other categories, the fans are one of the factors in deciding the winner. For the Best Player and Best Coach Award, the system comprises four factors.
The fans' vote consists of 25%, while the selected members of the world's media will have another 25%. Another quarter goes to the coaches of the national teams, while the final 25% goes to the national team captains. The voting is based on the performances from 20 November 2015 to 22 November 2016.
