The world football's governing body FIFA will announce Monday the name of Best Player 2004, in a breath-taking gala at the Zurich Opera House.

Participants in the key poll had Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho, and Andriy Shevchenko to choose from.

Arsenal's Henry was praised by FIFA President Sepp Blatter prior to the awarding ceremony, saying: "Henry, for me, is the personality on the field. He is the man who can run and organise the game."

But the final result from the vote will remain a closely guarded secret until Monday night.
