FIFA will hold its annual The Best FIFA Football Awards event today in London.

Cristiano Ronaldo looks set to successfully defend his crown in the Men's Player of the Year category but the Women's field could be more open, with last year's winner Carli Lloyd once again in the running.

This year's awards ceremony will take place on Monday, October 23, 2017 at the Bloomsbury Ballroom in London, with coverage beginning at 16:30 BST.

The ceremony will be hosted by actor Idris Elba and Studs Up presenter Layla-Anna Lee, and will also feature a performance by the band Kasabian.

The main individual award categories are: Men's Player, Women's Player, Men's Coach, Women's Coach and Goalkeeper.

In addition, there are the Fair Play, Fan and Puskas - for the best goal of the year - awards, as well as the FIFPro World XI.
