Dubai was on fire last night as the world’s biggest football stars descended into a celebration of talent, grit, and triumph

The Globe Soccer Dubai Awards took place at Atlantis, The Palm last night, and it had Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr, Jude Bellingham, and Lamine Yamal under one glittering roof. HH Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed was also a part of the event!

Ronaldo, Al-Nassr’s goal machine, walked away with two major accolades, including the Best Middle East Player award, and dazzled fans with his signature charm. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s rising superstar Jude Bellingham added more hardware to his growing collection, winning the Best Midfielder and Maradona Award in what has been a truly golden year for the 21-year-old.

Adding to the glamour was Neymar Jr, who made a triumphant appearance to collect a Player Career Award, and Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal, crowned Emerging Player.

The event was a testament to Dubai’s allure as a global hub for excellence and celebration

Hosted alongside the prestigious 19th Dubai International Sports Conference, the awards drew over 100 million fan votes from around the world, smashing previous records. With breathtaking performances, heartfelt speeches, and iconic moments like Ronaldo sharing the stage with Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, the night was nothing short of magical.

As Tommaso Bendoni, Founder and CEO of Globe Soccer, aptly put it, the 15th edition was a “landmark” moment for the sport, reaffirming Dubai’s status as the ultimate destination for football’s finest. Safe to say, the stars weren’t just shining—they were blazing in Dubai!
