Doha, Dec 17: Ousmane Dembele and Aitana Bonmati were named the best players of 2025 at the FIFA awards on Tuesday, adding to their prize collection after also winning the men’s and women’s Ballon d’Or this year.
Dembele starred for Paris Saint-Germain in its first Champions League title win and Bonmati was a standout for Spain and Barcelona.
The FIFA awards are voted on by national team captains, coaches, media and fans around the world.
Two European champions won the coaching awards: Sarina Wiegman led England to its second straight Women’s Euros title in Switzerland – beating Spain in the final – and Luis Enrique led PSG to the Champions League and French titles.
The top four prizes had the same roll of honor as the Ballon d’Or awards presented in September in Paris. (AP)
