Ousmane Dembélé added another accolade to his individual trophy cabinet this Tuesday, December 16. The Paris Saint-Germain forward was crowned FIFA Men's Player of the Year at the FIFA The Best 2025 awards ceremony, held in Doha, Qatar.

Dembélé continues to reap the rewards of a sensational 2024-2025 season with PSG, who lifted the 2025 UEFA Champions League trophy. The Vernon native netted 35 goals and provided 16 assists in 53 appearances for the Parisian side. His exploits already earned him the 2025 Ballon d'Or three months ago. Tonight, the PSG star edged out Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal to claim the top honor at The Best FIFA Awards 2025.
