A new edition of the Globe Soccer Awards 2025 took place, the gala that since 2010 has honored the leading figures in world football. The ceremony, organized by the Dubai Sports Council, was held in the United Arab Emirates and brought together outstanding players, coaches, and executives from the past year.

The main star of the night was Ousmane Dembélé, who was crowned Best Male Player after an outstanding season with PSG. The Frenchman prevailed in a prestigious shortlist that included Kylian Mbappé, Raphinha, Vitinha, and Lamine Yamal, consolidating his key role in the Parisian team.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo was recognized as Best Middle Eastern Player, an award that acknowledges his sporting and media impact since his arrival in Saudi football. At 40 years old, the Portuguese star continues to be one of the biggest names in global football.

Lamine Yamal also had a special night: in addition to being chosen Best Forward, the young Barcelona talent received the Diego Armando Maradona Award.

The gala also had a strong PSG presence, as the club was named Best Male Club, with Luis Enrique as Best Coach and Vitinha as Best Midfielder, confirming the French team's dominance at the awards.
