As it does every year, FIFA has announced its awards in various categories this year as well. The FIFA The Best Player of the Year award went to Ousmane Dembele, the French star of PSG, who is also the recipient of this year's Ballon D'or. However, there were other stars in the team of the year besides Dembele. The list was dominated by PSG, the recent Champions League winners.
Having made a significant contribution to PSG's Champions League victory and boasting a record of 33 goals and 15 assists in 49 matches for the 2024-2025 season, the French star Dembele added the FIFA The Best award to his personal trophy cabinet, following his Ballon D'or win.
