Lamine Yamal Clinches Double Honour at Globe Soccer Awards 2025

Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal enjoyed a landmark night at the Globe Soccer Awards 2025 in Dubai, where he walked away with two major individual awards, further confirming his rapid rise in world football.

The FC Barcelona star was named Best Forward of the Year, recognising his exceptional attacking performances and influence at club and international level throughout the year. Yamal’s pace, creativity and maturity beyond his age have made him one of the most exciting young talents in the global game.

In addition, he received the prestigious Maradona Award, an honour reserved for players who demonstrate extraordinary skill, flair and impact. Attributes closely associated with the late football legend Diego Maradona.

Yamal’s achievements at the ceremony place him among an elite company and underline his growing status as a generational talent. At just 18, he has already become a key figure for Barcelona and a standout performer on the international stage, drawing praise from fans, pundits and former players alike.

The Globe Soccer Awards celebrate excellence across the football world and Yamal’s double win signals not just a remarkable year, but the beginning of what promises to be a defining career at the highest level.
