London will host the 2018 FIFA Football Awards for the second straight year, on September 24, the global governing body said Thursday.
"As a passionate football city in a nation with a strong footballing heritage, London will once again prove to be an excellent destination to host The Best FIFA Football Awards, and we are excited to return after the success of last year's second edition," FIFA deputy secretary general Zvonimir Boban said in a statement.
"With the 2018 FIFA World Cup showcasing football's finest across Russia this summer, there is everything to play for, making this year's awards a truly exceptional occasion."
Nine awards, including best men's and women's player and the Puskas award for the goal of the year, will be presented using a mixed voting system including players, coaches, fans and media.
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has won the men's best player award for the last two years with the women's version going to Lieke Martens of the Netherlands in 2017.
