Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar will contest the 2015 Ballon d'Or after they were named as final nominees.
Ronaldo and Messi have dominated the prize for the last seven years but both face strong competition this year from Messi's Barcelona team-mate Neymar.
Ronaldo has claimed the last two Ballon d'Or awards with Messi winning the previous four editions of the award, the first of those given when it was known as the FIFA World Player of the Year prize.
The winners will be announced at FIFA's Ballon d'Or Gala in Zurich on January 11, with four other prizes also on offer.
They are the Women's World Player of the Year, the men's and women's World Coach of the Year and the FIFA Puskas Award, given for the goal judged to be the best in the world in the past year.
