Won once again by Argentine Lionel Messi this Monday (27), the FIFA The Best award was created by the entity in 2016 to replace the former Best in the World, awarded for the first time in 1991.
For almost 20 years, the honor tried to compete with the prestige of the traditional Golden Ball award, given by the French magazine France Football since 1956.
In 2009, the two honors were unified to launch the FIFA Ballon d’Or award, won in its first edition also by Messi, in 2010.
The partnership lasted six seasons and was monopolized by the Argentine star, four times winner (2010, 2011, 2012 and 2015) and the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, twice winner (2013 and 2014).
With the end of the partnership, Fifa decided to recreate its award with the name of The Best and, with seven editions to date, it has already awarded only four different players, with two awards for Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski, and one for Luka Modrić .
Considering the former Best in the World, the period of partnership with France Football and the recreation of the FIFA award, Messi has seven achievements.
