Lewandowski, Messi and Salah ensure three continents will be represented on the podium for the first time in 16 years. The same three – Africa, Europe and South America – were represented in 2005 courtesy of Samuel Eto’o, Lampard and Ronaldinho. A same-continent podium has occurred thrice, all courtesy of Europe: in 1991 (Matthaus, Papin and Lineker), 1992 (Van Basten, Stoichkov and Thomas Hassler) and 2001 (Figo, Beckham and Raul).

All the winners of The Best FIFA Football Awards™ 2021, including the recipients of the FIFA Fan Award and the FIFA Fair Play Award,will be crowned on 17 January during a TV show broadcast live from the Home of FIFA in Zurich.
