Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the best footballer of the year in the Middle East for the third year in a row, News.Az reports. The 40-year-old Portuguese forward received the Globe Soccer Awards honour at a ceremony in Dubai, finishing ahead of Karim Benzema, Salem Al-Dawsari and Riyad Mahrez.
In 2025, Ronaldo scored 40 goals across all competitions, continuing his prolific form for Saudi club Al-Nassr, where he is under contract until mid-2027.
The Globe Soccer Awards recognise outstanding achievements in global football, and Ronaldo’s third straight win highlights his enduring influence and exceptional performance on and off the field.
