With Arrascaeta starring, Flamengo and Cruzeiro sweep CBF awards | OneFootball

The ceremony that marked the official closing of the 2025 Brazilian Championship season confirmed the strong presence of Flamengo and Cruzeiro among the individual highlights of the year. Although Palmeiras finished ahead of Raposa in the standings, it was the red-blacks and celestials who appeared most frequently on the list of award winners released by the CBF this Monday in Rio de Janeiro. In a gala night that brought together athletes, executives, and coaches, Arrascaeta was crowned as the star player of the championship.

Champions with one round to spare, Flamengo placed four names in the team of the championship: Rossi, Léo Pereira, Jorginho, and Arrascaeta, in addition to seeing Pedro win the award for the most beautiful goal. Cruzeiro, in third place, matched the number of selections with Fabrício Bruno, Lucas Romero, Matheus Pereira, and Kaio Jorge, the top scorer of the Brasileirão with 21 goals.

The team also featured representatives from Vasco, Mirassol, and Palmeiras. In addition to the players already mentioned, right-back Paulo Henrique (Vasco), left-back Reinaldo (Mirassol), and forward Vitor Roque (Palmeiras) were honored.

The revelation award went to Rayan, from Vasco, crowning his first year at a high level in the professional league.

To conclude, the choice of Rafael Guanaes from Mirassol as best coach reinforced the strength of the historic campaign by the São Paulo club, which finished unbeaten at home and secured a spot in the 2026 Libertadores group stage.

The ceremony also featured tributes to the champion national teams of 1994 and 2002, as well as the presence of executives and guests from Brazilian football.
