The FIFA The Best awards ceremony, honoring the world's best football talents, took place in Doha, the capital of Qatar. This prestigious event, attended by global football stars, sparked considerable interest, especially in the nomination for the best footballer of 2025. Ultimately, the award was claimed by France national team and PSG striker Ousmane Dembélé.
It is known that the voting process for the FIFA The Best award involves national team head coaches, captains, and official football commentators. Representing Uzbekistan in this process were national team head coach Fabio Cannavaro, team captain Eldor Shomurodov, and renowned commentator Davron Fayziyev.
Fabio Cannavaro gave his first-place vote to Ousmane Dembélé. The Italian coach placed Barcelona's young star Lamine Yamal in second place and PSG midfielder Vitinha in third. This selection reflects the coach's emphasis on consistent performance and team contributions.
Eldor Shomurodov, however, approached his voting slightly differently. The captain of Uzbekistan's national team chose Barcelona striker Raphinha as his first choice. Ousmane Dembélé ranked second, while Lamine Yamal was listed third in his selections.
Davron Fayziyev's choices were concise and clear. The famed commentator awarded first place to Ousmane Dembélé, second place to Lamine Yamal, and third to Raphinha.
Thus, the votes cast by Uzbekistan’s representatives played a vital role in the overall results. In the end, Ousmane Dembélé, who garnered the most support, secured the FIFA The Best award and was recognized as the best footballer of 2025. This accolade serves as a fitting recognition of his consistent, effective, and decisive performances for both his club and national team.
