Football fans have another awards show to watch out for today. Although not as prestigious as the Ballon d'Or and FIFA The Best, the Globe Soccer Awards, which have been held since 2010 in Dubai, also reward the best players, clubs, entities and even agents.
The 15th edition of the Beyond Developments Globe Soccer Dubai Awards will welcome special guests such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Thibaut Courtois, during a gala broadcast live on YouTube, from 4:00 p.m. CET, 3:00 p.m. GMT, at the five-star Atlantis resort from The Palm. The winners will be chosen taking into account fan votes as well as the opinion of the jury, with the likes of Francesco Totti, Iker Casillas, Luis Figo and Marcello Lippi.
Rodri won the Ballon d'Or this year, while Vinícius Jr. won the Best in FIFA trophy, both by a very narrow margin. Will one of them win Globe Soccer?
