REASON Cristiano Ronaldo was not included in the FIFA Best Player nomination for 2022 and will be discussed in this article. Since January 2023, FIFA has announced the nominations for the best player for 2022.
Interestingly, there is no Cristiano Ronaldo on the nomination list. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo’s rival, Lionel Messi, was nominated for the 2022 FIFA best player.
Remarkably, the Argentine superstar was able to become a finalist for the 2022 FIFA best player. Lionel Messi is competing with Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema to become the 2022 FIFA best player.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo was not included in the list of FIFA 2022 best player nominations. In fact, in recent years, CR7 (Cristiano Ronaldo’s nickname) has always been included in the list.
In fact, the Al Nassr player has won the award twice, namely in 2016 and 2017. So, why wasn’t CR7 nominated?

Judging from Cristiano Ronaldo’s track record of appearances in 2022, the 38-year-old superstar is indeed not as accomplished as his rival. Take for example the 2022 World Cup.
In this prestigious event between countries of the world, CR7 was unable to take Portugal far. Portugal had to stop in the quarter-finals after being beaten by Morocco 0-1.
