Dembélé beats Yamal, Mbappé to FIFA Best Men's Player award

Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé was crowned the Best FIFA Men's Player for 2025 on Tuesday after helping the French giants win the UEFA Champions League for the first time.

The France international edged out Barcelona and Spain starlet Lamine Yamal, just as he did in winning the Ballon d'Or in September. The other finalist for the award was Dembélé's France teammate, Kylian Mbappé, who enjoyed an impressive start to his career at Real Madrid.

Dembélé also scored twice to help PSG reach the final of the inaugural 32-team Club World Cup.

Dembélé, 28, scored 35 goals in 53 appearances in all competitions last season for PSG, who also won Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France to complete a treble of major trophies.

It was a double celebration for PSG at Tuesday's ceremony in Doha, Qatar, with PSG head coach Luis Enrique winning the award for best men's coach.

Barcelona and Spain star Aitana Bonmatí on won her third straight award as the best women's player, with England's Sarina Wiegman claiming the prize for best women's coach.

England's Sarina Wiegman named FIFA The Best coach of the year

England manager Sarina Wiegman has been named women's coach of the year at The Best FIFA Football Awards after leading the Lionesses to Euro 2025 success.

The 56-year-old saw off competition from Chelsea's Sonia Bompastor, Arsenal coach Renee Slegers, Seb Hines of Orlando Pride and OL Lyonnes' Jonatan Giraldez to take the prize at a ceremony in Doha.

Wiegman took the honour for a record-extending fifth time after England retained their European Championship crown with a dramatic final victory over Spain.

Wiegman, who was not in attendance to pick up the award in person, said in a pre-recorded video: "Thank you so much, it is an absolute honour to receive this award again. I would like to thank FIFA and everyone who voted.

"I would like to congratulate Seb, Jonatan, Renee and Sonia for your achievements too and thank you to the FA for their continued support for me and the team.

"This award is for players and staff. We have shown so much conviction, belief and togetherness which led us to our second Euros win.
