FIFA The Best: Dembélé named best footballer of the year

2025 has undoubtedly been the year of Ousmane Dembélé: 35 goals scored last season, Ligue 1, French Cup, Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain, and the Ballon d'Or, the highest individual honor in the world of football. The joys for the Frenchman don't end here; today in Doha, Qatar, Dembélé was awarded FIFA's Best Footballer of the Year, receiving the prestigious FIFA The Best.

During the ceremony, the former Barça player made a few statements: “I want to thank all my teammates: hard work always pays off. Thanks to my family and to PSG, with whom we had a fantastic year. I also thank Gianni Infantino for the message I received on my birthday. I hope I can come back again next year.” 

The Top 11

There are surprises in the Top 11 chosen by FIFA, such as the exclusion of Real Madrid stars Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. Donnarumma is in goal, with Hakimi, Pacho, Van Dijk, and Nuno Mendes in defense; Palmer, Bellingham, Vitinha, and Pedri in midfield, and Lamine Yamal and Dembélé in attack. Luis Enrique is named Coach of the Year, receiving The Best FIFA Men’s Coach 2025 award.
