Ousmane Dembele was named the men’s Player of the Year at The 2025 FIFA Best Awards.
Paris Saint-Germain forward Dembele, who won the 2025 Ballon d’Or, was a driving force behind the French club’s success in last season’s Champions League.
He also featured as PSG reached the Club World Cup final, which they lost to Chelsea.
Since the start of 2025, Dembele has recorded 42 goal involvements, scoring 30 times and providing 12 assists. Only four players from teams in Europe’s top five leagues have provided more goal contributions in all competitions this year.

Like at the Ballon d’Or ceremony, Barcelona and Spain star Aitana Bonmati scooped the prize for the women’s player of the year.
She helped Barcelona reach the Champions League final and was also a runner-up with Spain at Euro 2025.
Dembele’s PSG boss, Luis Enrique, was named The Best FIFA Men’s Coach, while England manager Sarina Wiegman won The Best FIFA Women’s Coach.
In winning Euro 2025, Wiegman has now won three successive editions of the European Championships.
Luis Enrique, meanwhile, joined Pep Guardiola in becoming just the second coach to win a treble with two different clubs.
