Globe Soccer, the organisers of the prestigious Dubai Globe Soccer Awards that annually attracts some of the most recognisable names in world football, today confirmed plans to expand the concept internationally with five new ceremonies across four continents in 2024.<\/p>\n

Billed as the \u2018Road to Dubai\u2019, the new Globe Soccer Intercontinental Series will feature a quintet of standalone award editions covering Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East next year, with specific details of each territory\u2019s seasonal awards set to be revealed in coming months.<\/p>\n

The winners of each of the continental main awards \u2013 for example Best Men\u2019s Player, Best Women\u2019s Player, Best Club, Best Agent \u2013 will automatically qualify as finalists for the annual Dubai Globe Soccer Awards, in partnership with Dubai Sports Council.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor 13 years, the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards has helped bring the football world to the emirate,\u201d said Tommaso Bendoni, the founder and CEO of Globe Soccer, which is headquartered in Dubai. \u201cIn recent years, we have seen huge growth in terms of the number of awards, and also the number of fan votes and media coverage. We believe now is the time for us to take the show \u2013 and Dubai \u2013 to the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Intercontinental Series will provide greater opportunities for those operating in global football, as well as allowing us to engage with even more fans. The year-long \u2018Road to Dubai\u2019 programme has been designed to ensure the ultimate focus remains on the emirate, while also enabling us to recognise clubs, players, coaches and managers, agents, directors, scouts, and other stakeholders from every corner of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

An annual celebration of the beautiful game, the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards provides a voice to worldwide soccer fans, who vote to shortlist players, coaches, clubs and more. Since the inaugural event in 2010, the number of awards distributed has increased from three to 21, with recent additions including the Power Horse Emerging Player of the Year, Best Youth Team, and Best Transfer Deal. Last year, more than 33 million fan votes decided the shortlisted nominees, before a judging panel of experts crowned Karim Benzema and Alexia Putellas as the Best Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Player of the Year, respectively.<\/p>\n

Saeed Hareb, Secretary-General of Dubai Sports Council, said, \u201cWe are proud of our partnership with the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards. This partnership commenced with the inauguration of the event as a significant occasion rooted in Dubai, but with global reach. Today, it has become one of the most prestigious events in world football, serving as a gathering for football stars and decision-makers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new \u2018Road to Dubai\u2019 awards format enables us to acknowledge and honour a greater number of stars from various continents, thus highlighting their achievements. Moreover, it offers the winners a chance to take part in the main ceremony in Dubai. This development aligns with the award\u2019s growth, evolution, international reputation, and influence in global football.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previous attendees at the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards read like an elite gathering of the world\u2019s most prominent football stars, from Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, and Robert Lewandowksi to Pep Guardiola, Zinedine Zidane, Jose Mourinho, and the late Diego Maradona.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
