It was announced last Wednesday (the 13th) that the award for best player of the season had been canceled by FIFA. The edition was scheduled to happen in September.

By the look of it, we will not see the scenario of rivalry between the Argentine, Barcelona striker, Lionel Messi and the Portuguese, Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus' left winger to receive the "The Best" award in Milan.

Current FIFA President Gianni Infantino said that the decision is respecting the current situation in the world and that the only active competition would be the Club World Cup to be held in Adu Dhabi in December.

Other awards have not yet been announced as to whether or not they will happen, such as "Golden Ball", which has been taking place since 1956 and "Golden Boot".
