An organisation, team or individual that has inspired others with a special gesture of sportsmanship in football will take home the FIFA Fair Play award. The stand-out players of the year will be selected in the FIFA FIFPro World XI, and the FIFA Presidential Award will be given for outstanding service to the game.
