Manchester United legend Eric Cantona is set to be handed the 2019 UEFA President's Award in recognition of his playing career and commitment to charitable causes after it.
The 53-year-old Frenchman will receive the award in Monaco on Thursday during the Champions League group stage draw.
"This award not only recognises his career as a player of the highest calibre, but also honours him for the person he is," said UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin.
"A man who refuses compromise, who stands up for his values, who speaks his mind and in particular, puts his heart and his soul into supporting the causes he believes in."
