The FIFA World Player of the Year is an association football award presented annually by the sport's governing body, FIFA, since 1991. Originally an honour bestowed on the world's best male player, it was awarded to both sexes from 2001, and since 2010 has been presented exclusively to the best female player. Coaches and captains of international teams and media representatives select the player they deem to have performed the best in the previous calendar year.
During the men's era, Brazilian players won 8 out of 18 years, compared to three wins—the second most—for French players. In terms of individual players, Brazil again led with five, followed by Italy and Portugal with two each. The youngest winner was Ronaldo, who won at 20 years old in 1996, and the oldest winner was Fabio Cannavaro, who won aged 33 in 2006. Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane each won the award three times, while Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were the only players to win in successive years. Since 2010, the equivalent men's award is the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Several sports leagues honour their best player with an award called Player of the Year. In the United States, this type of award is usually called a Most Valuable Player award. The awards with the "player of the year" phrasing include these.
In association football, this award is held on both an international and national level.

Do you still play with that mentality as if you're still playing as you grew up on the streets of Sarcelles in France? Do you still play with that sense of fun and freedom?

I’ve got my twenty arms ready to go but I don’t know If my head is gonna
Blow after this show
I feel like they are staring at my back like they would know
This is just to late for someone like me to grow
Everybody knows it’s just to late for me to grow
Everybody knows it’s just to late for someone like me to grow
I say that this is no way to go but they don’t know
How my heart is gonna blow if they don’t show
And I pray in the name of that someone or something I’ve never seen
Everybody knows it’s just to late for me to grow
Everybody knows it’s just to late for someone like me to grow
