A three-way battle

AFP, Basel
The identity of the 2003 FIFA Player of the Year award will be unveiled here on Monday with three candidates in the frame for the coveted prize Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry.
Ronaldo is no stranger to the award, having won it a record three times.
The Real Madrid striker and Brazil World Cup winner walked off with the prize in 1996, 1997 and last year when he came in ahead of Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn
with Zidane, the winner in 1998 and 2000, in third.
Arsenal hitman Henry in contrast has made it to the final vote for the very first time.
Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger says this year's FIFA Player of the Year award should go to Henry.
Assessing Henry's chances of having his name added to on an illustrious roll of honour Wenger said: "On his individual performances, then, yes, he should win.
"But the biggest step is to have been considered in the top three.
"Between him, Zidane or Ronaldo then it becomes more subjective. There is nothing between them. "I'm convinced there is even more to come from him. He can improve everywhere, in everything."
FIFA's Player of the Year is determined by a system involving 142 national team coaches who put forward their three favourite players of the year with the first choice worth five points, the second choice three and their last choice one point.
Regardless of how he does on Monday Henry has already bagged one prize this season as he was made Player of the Year by French football magazine Onze ahead of Zidane and David Beckham.
Henry's ability was seen to good
effect this week in Arsenal's 2-0 Champions League win over Lokomotive Moscow when two of his exquisite passes set up both goals.
"Massive" was how Wenger assessed Henry's contribution in the victory.
In the women's category United States forward Mia Hamm, who has twice won the title, in 2001 and 2002, is pitted alongside Birgit Prinz, one of Germany's 2003 World Cup winning team, and Sweden's Hanna Ljungberg.
After the award ceremony, the festivities will continue on the field of play with the "Match against Poverty", an initiative organised by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with the support of FIFA, bringing together Ronaldo, Zidane.
The gala occasion will also see the presentation of a number of other awards, most notably the FIFA Fair Play Award.
Ten years after its launch in 1993, the FIFA Fair Play logo has undergone a makeover with a new slogan, "My Game is Fair Play", reaffirming its message.
Apart from this new wording, the change also reflects FIFA's renewed commitment to fair play and the major social issues in the world today.
As in the past two years, FIFA president Sepp Blatter will also be presenting the FIFA Presidential Award. The inaugural award honoured Marvin Lee, who was paralysed during a match while captaining the Trinidad & Tobago U-20 team. He sadly passed away in March 2003.
The winner of last year's award was Parminder Nagra, the star of the hit film "Bend It Like Beckham", which told the story of a young girl determined to play football against the wishes of her family.
Finally, the national teams will also be rewarded for their efforts.
