The invitation letter dated 7th November 2016 and signed by FIFA Secretary General, Fatma Samoura read, inter alia: “The Best FIFA Football Awards are all about football. They recognize those who truly write the history of the game – the players, coaches and fans. They belong to them. We have taken the sport’s most prestigious individual award in a new, modern direction. We look forward to celebrating with you The Best of the season in a brand new and exclusive award show.”
Monday’s ceremony is the first since the old –style Ballon D’Or that was organized jointly with France Football collapsed, with FIFA coming up with its own Best Football Awards.
