Ron In Running For World Player Gong
Cristiano Ronaldo has made the three-man shortlist for FIFA's World Player of the
Year award - and will do battle with Kaka and Lionel Messi.
The Manchester United winger will vie with AC Milan's brilliant Brazilian Kaka, who
is the favourite, and Barcelona magician Messi for the accolade which will be
handed out at FIFA's world player gala in Zurich on December 17.
Each national team manager and player is given a vote.
None of the trio have won the award or even been shortlisted before and it has
never been won by a Premier League player.
Italian defender Fabio Cannavaro is the current holder of the award. French
midfielder Zinedine Zidane and Brazilian striker Ronaldo both won it three times,
while Ronaldinho has won the award twice.
In the women's award, Brazilian duo Cristiane and current holder Marta have
both been shortlisted along with Germany's three-time winner Birgit Prinz.
