Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were named to the shortlist for the FIFA Best Men's Player Award while USA superstar Carli Lloyd is a finalist on the women's side, FIFA announced on Friday.
On the men's side, Messi and Ronaldo are joined by Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann.
On the women's side, the USWNT star is joined by Marta of Brazil and Melanie Behringer of Germany.
The award name may be confusing to some, as the award given out the previous six years was the Ballon d'Or, but it now reverts to the original award.
