England duo Sarina Wiegman and Mary Earps were winners at the 2022 Best FIFA Awards, claiming the women's coach and women's goalkeeper prizes at Monday's ceremony in Paris.
England's march to the Euro 2022 title resulted in another award with Wiegman named best women's coach ahead of Lyon's Sonia Bompastor and Pia Sundhage of Brazil, while Earps, who started every game at the tournament pipped fellow nominees Ann-Katrin Berger of Germany and Chile's Christiane Endler to the women's goalkeeper award.
It wasn't to be a hat-trick of successes for England as Beth Mead missed out on the best women's player award to Spain's Alexia Putellas, who won the accolade for a second straight year.
World Cup winner Lionel Messi edged Kylian Mbappe again, this time to take FIFA's best men's player award.
After steering Argentina to World Cup glory in an epic final against Mbappe's France last year in Qatar, Messi won the best player vote against his PSG team-mate and Karim Benzema to secure the FIFA prize for the seventh time in 14 years.
The 35-year-old forward scored two goals in the World Cup final, which Argentina won on penalties against France following a 3-3 draw after extra-time.
Elsewhere, Emiliano Martinez's World Cup heroics for Argentina saw him named the best men's goalkeeper, while Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni beat Man City's Pep Guardiola and Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti to the Best FIFA Men's Coach award.
