Following his Ballon d'Or win, Ousmane Dembele was also named the winner of The Best FIFA Men's Player 2024/25. |
The list of votes just released by FIFA has revealed many surprising choices, clearly reflecting the differences in opinion among national team coaches and captains.
Following the gala in Qatar, FIFA officially announced the voting results for The Best FIFA Men's Player award for the 2024/25 season. Unlike the Ballon d'Or organized by France Football, where only journalists participate in the voting, The Best FIFA Awards uses an equal distribution mechanism: national team captains, head coaches, the media, and fans, each accounting for 25% of the total votes.
In Spain, coach Luis de la Fuente and goalkeeper Unai Simon were the two representatives casting their votes. De la Fuente placed his trust in Pedri, ranking the midfielder first, followed by Lamine Yamal, and Kylian Mbappe third. Conversely, Unai Simon swapped places between Pedri and Yamal, and also drew attention by choosing full-back Nuno Mendes for his third vote.
In Argentina, captain Lionel Messi gave Dembele the highest number of votes. Mbappe came second, while Yamal was third. Coach Lionel Scaloni, however, gave a different ranking, placing Mbappe in first place, followed by Pedri and Yamal.
Portugal also made their own unique choices. Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to vote due to a suspension from the team's most recent match, leaving Bernardo Silva to take on the captaincy. Silva chose his teammates Vitinha and Nuno Mendes, before placing Dembele in third place. Coach Roberto Martínez reversed the order between Nuno Mendes and Vitinha, and gave his third vote to Yamal.
Another notable selection comes from Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach, who worked with Mbappe last season, ranked the French forward in third place. Ancelotti gave Dembele maximum points and three points to Raphinha.
The published votes show that Dembele not only impressed the judges with his title, but also garnered widespread consensus among experts. At the same time, the frequent appearances of Pedri and Lamine Yamal clearly reflect the growing importance of young talent in the individual awards of world football.
