Liverpool dominated the Fifa Men's Best Men's nominees with Raheem Sterling, a notable rebound, as the list of 10 finalists was announced on Wednesday.
The champions of Europe boast of three names as Virgil van Dijk is joined by attackers Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
The usual suspects, Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the League of Nations with Portugal, and Lionel Messi, another winner of the Liga title with Barcelona.
Sterling was however absent despite an exceptional season with Manchester City, which became the first club to win the Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup in the same campaign.
The talisman of Tottenham, Harry Kane, was not retained despite a difficult campaign. Kylian Mbappe was included after another great season with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Dutch winners Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt, from Barcelona and Juventus respectively, will take part in the match after helping Ajax win the Eredivisie title and seconds away from the Champions League final.
Jurgen Klopp has been nominated for the best male coach, along with Mauricio Pochettino and Pep Guardiola and others.
England's Ellen White and Lucy Bronze are among the finalists for the best female player, while Lionesses boss Phil Neville is on the list of coaches.
