    While the list of contenders is loaded with talent and trophies, there is no place for Portuguese icon Cristiano Ronaldo – who has also been overlooked in the Ballon d’Or race for 2023. He claimed the inaugural FIFA Best award in 2016, before doubling up in 2017, but has not figured inside the top three places since 2020.
