The nominees for the 2024 Ballon d'Or will be unveiled today.
It is almost certain that the current holder and eight-time winner, Lionel Messi, will not even make the podium this time around.
This means there will be a first-time winner at the ceremony next month.
Organisers will today reveal every name on their long shortlist.
Real Madrid and Spain players are expected to be prominent after their respective successes.
Vinicius Jr - who has made clear his desire to take the top prize - Rodri and Jude Bellingham among the favourites for the trophy.
Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland will also be in contention.
