The Globe Soccer Awards 2024, held in Dubai, celebrated the pinnacle of football excellence, showcasing outstanding performances from players and teams across the globe. Vinicius Jr. of Real Madrid emerged as a significant figure during the event, clinching both the Best Men's Player and Best Forward awards. His remarkable contributions on the field have not only solidified his status as a top-tier athlete but also highlighted Real Madrid's dominance in international football. Additionally, Aitana Bonmati from Barcelona was recognized as Best Women's Player, further emphasizing the growing recognition and appreciation for women's football globally.
In Ronaldo's case, his involvement probably has plenty to do with his former agent Jorge Mendes being one of the founders of the awards. Mendes triumphed once again in the Best Agent category, taking home the prize for the 12th time out of the 14 it has been on offer.
The former Manchester United star, and five-time Ballon d'Or winner, also backed his former club's new coach, Ruben Amorim, on Friday, saying "the storm will finish" after his Portuguese countryman's difficult start to life in the Premier League.
Amorim — who was hired after Erik ten Hag was fired — has lost five of his first 10 games at United in all competitions. Approaching the Premier League's halfway point, the team is 14th and eight points above the relegation zone.
Bellingham won the best midfielder of the year accolade as well as the Maradona award, while club goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois received a career award.
Real Madrid were named men’s club of the year, with coach Carlo Ancelotti best coach of 2024.
Ronaldo was honored as the best Middle East-based player, and also received a custom-made trophy as the top goal scorer of all time.
Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo received accolades as the Best Middle East Player while playing for Al Nassr. This award underscores Ronaldo's enduring impact on football despite transitioning to a different league later in his career . The ceremony also honored Jude Bellingham with both the Maradona Award and Best Midfielder distinctions for his exceptional performances with Real Madrid. Furthermore, Carlo Ancelotti was awarded Best Coach for his strategic brilliance that has propelled Real Madrid to new heights .
The Globe Soccer Awards not only celebrate individual achievements but also recognize club successes; Real Madrid was named Best Men's Club while Barcelona took home the award for Best Women's Club. These accolades reflect each club's commitment to excellence and their contributions to the sport at large . Overall, this year's awards highlighted a diverse range of talents within football and set a high standard for future competitions.
