FIFA World Player Gala was an association football award show presented annually by the sport's governing body, FIFA, throughout 1991–2009.[1]
The first awarding ceremony was held on 8 December 1991 in Zürich, Switzerland.[2] The award show was superseded first by the FIFA Ballon d'Or during 2010-15, and since 2016 by The Best FIFA Football Awards. FIFA consider the three historic versions of its gala show as subversions of the same event, and thus celebrated its 30 years anniversary in 2021.[3][4] FIFA's historical statistics also list the awards in one overall list, comprising the records of all three gala show versions.[1]
