The Best Fifa awards LIVE: Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, and Kylian Mbappe nominated for top men’s prize

“For the award, it is a huge honour for me, I would like to say thank you,” said Lochoshvili after receiving his award.

“I am really happy for the award but I am more happy that we saved Georg’s life and the most important thing in football is fair play and respect.”

“The most beautiful thing is making your country happy, your people happy,” says Lionel Scaloni in his speech after winning the Best Men’s Coach Award.

Sarina Wiegman is the second member of the Lionesses’ winning Euro 2022 to collect an award tonight. Things are looking good for Beth Mead’s chances of taking home the Best Women’s Player Award.

Sarina Wiegman spoke about developing and improving women’s football during her acceptance speech saying:

“From when I could walk I have loved football. It’s just incredible to be right here and to celebrate women’s football. Little girls have their idols and inspirations. So many people across the world have worked so hard to get the game where it is right now.

“As for last summer, the stadiums were full. Wembley was full and there were so many families in the stadiums celebrating football. Behind me is a big team. Without great players you are nowhere.

“Last but not least, my family have seen me more on TV than at home. Thank you for supporting me.”

Lionel Scaloni wins the Men’s Best Coach Award!

A triumphant World Cup campaign usually brings with it individual awards and the 44-year-old Scaloni is a worthy winner.

He thanks the 26 players who took Argentina to victory on the World’s biggest stage in Qatar.

The next award is the Best Men’s Coach.

Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola and Lionel Scaloni are the three nominees.

This one seems like a toss up between Ancelotti, who won La Liga and the Champions League with Real Madrid, and Scaloni, who led Argentina to victory at the World Cup.

It’s the third time she has won the prize having also taken the award home in 2017 and 2020. No-one has won a Fifa Best Award as many times as the current Lionesses boss.

“From since I could walk I’ve loved football and it’s incredible to be here right now to celebrate women’s football,” says Wiegman.

The Best Women’s Coach Award is up next and could see another win for the Lionesses as Sarina Wiegman made the three woman shortlist.

Here are the nominees:
