Jahn Regensburg team doctor Andreas Harlass-Neuking won the FIFA Fair Play Award for saving the life of a fan at a German second-division game in April.

During Regensburg's game at Magdeburg, he was made aware that a home fan had collapsed.

He jumped over a barrier and resuscitated the supporter, who was then transferred to a local hospital and survived.

"Your sportsmanship, altruism and selflessness are reflective of the very best aspects of our beautiful game. All of us at FIFA and the global football community thank you wholeheartedly for making a difference that day," FIFA president Gianni Infantino said on social media.

FIFA's Best awards ceremony for players and coaches takes place later on Tuesday in Doha, but football's world governing body is releasing some winners throughout the day.

England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was named Best keeper for helping the Lionesses retain their European Championship title in July. Her Chelsea side also won a domestic treble.

The fan award went to supporters of Iraqi side Zakho SC, who have been rewarded "for their efforts in helping children who suffer with illnesses."
