Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembélé has been crowned the world’s best player in 2025, “The Best FIFA Men’s Player” award.
FIFA held a grand ceremony in Doha, Qatar, to present the awards for the best players in various categories, for the second year running.
The Best FIFA Men’s Player award went to Dembélé, who led Paris Saint-Germain to a historic treble and their first-ever UEFA Champions League title.
Dembélé scored 35 goals and provided 16 assists in 53 appearances for PSG across all competitions last season.
With this achievement, Dembélé becomes the fifth player to win both the Ballon d’Or and The Best FIFA Men’s Player awards in the same year. Only Rodri has failed to achieve this feat, after Vinicius Junior won The Best FIFA Men’s Player award last year.
The competition was between Dembélé and Lamine Yamal, as it was for the Ballon d’Or, but this time the decision was made by national team coaches and captains, not journalists as in the Ballon d’Or.
