The French football star, who plays as a forward for FC Barcelona and the French national team, was recognized for his outstanding performances throughout the year. Dembélé, 28, beat out stiff competition from other top players to claim the prestigious award, solidifying his status as one of the best in the world.
Dembélé’s standout year included leading Barcelona to victory in the La Liga and Champions League, as well as playing a crucial role in France’s successful campaign at the UEFA European Championship. His skill, speed, and goal-scoring ability have made him a fan favorite and a key player for both club and country.
The Globe Soccer Awards ceremony, held at the Armani Hotel in Dubai, brought together the biggest names in football to celebrate the sport’s top performers. Dembélé was visibly emotional as he accepted the award, thanking his teammates, coaches, and fans for their support throughout the year.
This accolade further solidifies Dembélé’s place among the footballing elite and sets the stage for what promises to be an even more successful year ahead. As he continues to shine on the pitch, fans can expect to see more incredible performances and memorable moments from the talented forward. Paris Saint-Germain forward, Ousmane Dembélé, has added another prestigious honor to his already impressive collection of awards. The 28-year-old Frenchman had a stellar year, winning the Ballon d’Or and FIFA Best Men’s Player award, in addition to leading PSG to their first-ever UEFA Champions League title last season. Dembélé’s remarkable campaign saw him score 35 goals across all competitions and play a crucial role in PSG’s dominant European run.
Despite facing injury setbacks at the start of the 2025/26 season, Dembélé’s outstanding performances earlier in the year were enough to secure him yet another global accolade at the recent ceremony. Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, also shone at the event, clinching the Best Forward award and the prestigious Diego Armando Maradona Award. However, it was Dembélé who emerged as the night’s top winner, further solidifying his central role in PSG’s historic year as French champions.
The ceremony, held annually since 2010, celebrates the best talents in the world of football and recognizes their exceptional contributions to the sport. This year’s event showcased the remarkable achievements of players like Dembélé and Yamal, highlighting their talent and dedication on the field.
