Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior receives the FIFA Men's Player of the Year award, while Barcelona's Aitana Bonmati clinches her second consecutive Best Women's Player award at the FIFA ceremony in Doha.
Vinicius was named the men’s player of the year at the FIFA’s “The Best” awards, where Barcelona playmaker Aitana Bonmati continued to dominate the awards for women’s soccer.
Vinicius was so disappointed to lose out to Manchester City midfielder Rodri for the Ballon d’Or in October that he and his Madrid team snubbed the ceremony in Paris in protest. The Brazil forward was at the FIFA ceremony to collect his award having travelled to Doha on Monday with Madrid for the Intercontinental Cup final against Pachuca.

Bonmati has won the Ballon d’Or for two straight years, and won the Spanish league, Spanish cup and Champions League with Barcelona in 2024.
