All 11 players are being applauded on stage, getting their due admiration.

It also gives us a chance to admire the huge range of outfit choices. Keira Walsh has come dressed as David Byrne. I hugely respect that.

So that's SEVEN Lionesses in the Women's World XI. Amazing.

That is also one attacking midfield. England striker Alessia Russo in the holding role? Bold choice.

Goalkeeper: Mary Earps

Defence: Olga Carmona, Lucy Bronze, Alex Greenwood

Midfield: Keira Walsh, Alessia Russo, Lauren James, Ella Toone, Aitana Bonmati

Attack: Alex Morgan, Sam Kerr

Earlier we saw Jenni Hermoso arrive. Now Colombian wonderkid Linda Caicedo and Hermoso's Spain team mate Aitana Bonmati have been snapped.

One of them will be crowned Best Fifa Women's Player tonight.

This is the England manager's fourth trophy. "Here I am again," she quips.

Wiegman also previously won in 2017, 2020 and 2022.

She congratulates Hayes and Giraldez, who have had great years in charge of Chelsea and Barcelona respectively.

Next up is the Best Women's Coach award.

Sarina Wiegman, Emma Hayes and Jonatan Giraldez are the nominees.

Fifa Best Men's Coach award winner Pep Guardiola was asked by Thierry Henry to compare winning the treble with Barcelona with winning it with Man City.

"Barcelona is the club of my heart, they are the reason why I am here. But doing it with Man City, 15 or 20 years ago we were not here. We have built step by step since Roberto Mancini was here. Those years ago, we could not expect to be here."

There are six Manchester City players in the Fifpro Men's XI - the most since Pep Guardiola's Barcelona team, which also had six.

Guardiola is asked by Thierry Henry which was the better team. He swears in response then gives a diplomatic non-answer.

Keith from Shrewsbury: Enciso for Puskas award. Not just the for the strike but for the build up play.

Ethan, happy Villa fan: Enciso’s goal should win best goal. Absolute rocket.

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois

Defence: John Stones, Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias

Midfield: Bernardo Silva, Jude Bellingham, Kevin De Bruyne

Forwards: Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Vinicius Jr

The Fifpro Men's Best XI is the next award being announced...

Everyone is getting thanked in Guardiola's speech - Man City's owners, his staff, and his 92-year-old father who Pep says is here tonight.

He must be a very proud dad.

Little surprise here, as Guardiola takes the award after guiding Manchester City to the treble.

He dedicates his award to fellow nominees Inzaghi - who guided Inter to the Champions League final - and Spalletti, who won Serie A with Napoli.

The first of our 11 awards tonight is Best Men's Coach of the Year.

Pep Guardiola, Simone Inzaghi and Luciano Spalletti are the nominees.

One of the clips on the Women's World Cup video montage is of Marta Cox's insanely good free kick for Panama against France. If you haven't seen it, YouTube it.

I was lucky enough to be in the Sydney Football Stadium for that game. It was the best goal I've ever seen live.

Chowdhury says that tonight's ceremony is dedicated to women's football, and that every award tonight will be presented by a woman.

2023 saw the superb Women's World Cup, and we are getting a video of clips from that tournament, with dance accompaniment.

Our hosts, Reshmin Chowdhury and Thierry Henry, have arrived on stage.

The ceremony is about to get underway.
