Flamengo and PSG (FRA) face each other this Wednesday (17), in Doha, Qatar, for the final of the Club World Cup. Before the match, the French team's forward Ousmane Dembélé received the FIFA The Best award for the world's best player.
“I would like to thank my teammates. It was a fantastic year, both individually and collectively. I would like to thank my family who always supported me and PSG for giving us this fantastic year. I want to thank Mr. President (Infantino) and hope to receive this award again next year” - said Dembélé.
First, a FIFA technical council defines a list of ten finalists. Then, journalists, national team captains, coaches, and the public, through online voting, participate in the voting process.
Dembélé won the world's best player award mainly for winning the Champions League, the French Championship, and the French Cup with PSG. In the 2024/25 season, the forward scored 35 goals and provided 14 assists in 53 matches.
The match between Flamengo and PSG is scheduled for 2 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (17), in Doha, Qatar, with broadcast by Rede Globo on open TV, SporTV on cable TV, and CazéTV and GETV, both on YouTube.
