Lionel Messi secures FIFA's best men's player award, edging out Erling Haaland in a tiebreaker.
Messi and Haaland received 48 points each, but Messi wins based on having more first-place votes from national team captains (107 to 64).
Neither Messi nor Haaland attended the awards ceremony at Hammersmith Apollo in London, with Kylian Mbappé, the third finalist, also skipping the event.
Messi's notable achievements include a move from Paris Saint-Germain to Inter Miami and leading the team to a Leagues Cup title, enhancing football's relevance in the United States.
