FIFA have reportedly cancelled a photoshoot with Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery because Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to scoop the Ballon d'Or.

The Frenchman recently claimed that he is "confident" of winning the award after clinching the Champions League and Bundesliga title with Bayern last season.

However, rumours have circulated claiming that a Ballon d'Or photoshoot with the player has been cancelled due to their belief that he will not be crowned the winner, according to Punto Pelota.

FIFA extended the voting until November 29.
