Brazilian star Ronaldinho is set to be named FIFA's player of the year for a third successive time.
Marca sports daily claims Thursday the Barcelona star will be named the winner ahead of Italian defender Fabio Cannavaro and now-retired French great Zinedine Zidane at a ceremony in Zurich, Switzerland on December 18.
World Cup winning Italy defender Cannavaro recently won the European Footballer of the Year Award (Ballon d'Or), which is awarded by France Football magazine.
However Ronaldinho, the Ballon d'Or winner last year, would become the first player to win FIFA's award three years in a row.
Marca reported that Cannavaro finished second to the Brazilian in the FIFA voting, which is decided by the coaches and captains of all of FIFA's member nations. Zidane finished third, according to the paper.
Zidane and Brazilian striker Ronaldo have also won the FIFA accolade three times but no one has won it three years successively. -
