The life-saving intervention of Denmark's players and medical staff after Christian Eriksen's cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 has been nominated for FIFA's Fair Play Award.
Eriksen's team-mates formed a shield around the midfielder after he collapsed while playing for Denmark against Finland on June 12 in their tournament opener in Copenhagen.
Medics then performed CPR on the 29-year-old as the players and supporters were left in a state of shock and distress.
Inter Milan's Eriksen, who was later fitted with a defibrillator (ICD), has been told he will not be allowed to take to the field in Italy this season, but could be able to play abroad.
Ex-Celtic captain Scott Brown's show of support for Rangers' Glen Kamara has also been nominated.
Brown - now player-coach at Aberdeen - approached Kamara as the two side's warmed up before last March's Old Firm game at Celtic Park after the Rangers midfielder suffered racist abuse in a Europa League tie against Slavia Prague.
Slavia's Ondrej Kudela was found guilty of using a racial slur toward Kamara and handed a 10-game ban by UEFA.
In a show of solidarity, Brown shook his rivals' hand and put his arm around his back - an action that was reciprocated - as they spoke for a few minutes.
Claudio Ranieri, now the head coach of Premier League side Watford, has also been shortlisted for the award.
Last season, his Sampdoria side performed a guard of honour for Antonio Conte's Inter after they won their first Serie A title since 2010.
