After a year dogged by allegations of corruption, bribery and deceit, FIFA will set aside its troubles - albeit temporarily - tonight for the pomp and prestige of its annual Ballon d'Or ceremony.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will once again go head-to-head for the top honour in the latest twist in a seven-year tug-of-war between the two strikers, while gongs will also be dished out for the female player of the year, coaches of the year and the Puskas award for best goal of the year.
There's also the small matter of the FIFPro World XI, where the players voted as the best 11 on the planet in 2015 will be revealed.
