Despite rumors circulating about the Globe Soccer Awards’ voting process, alleging that the public could buy and cast votes for themselves, these claims are entirely false. The Globe Soccer Awards has not implemented any such rule or system.
The event boasted a distinguished guest list, including Italian coach Fabio Capello, Brazil’s captain Casemiro, and Argentina’s World Cup-winning coach Lionel Scaloni. The Best Men’s Player category, featuring Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland, garnered the most attention.
Globe Soccer values fan perspectives, evident in the extensive 30-man list for Best Men’s Player, allowing fans worldwide to cast votes. The public vote, coupled with the Official Jury voting, formed the essential components of the awards.
Public Voting Played Pivotal Role
A record-breaking nearly 70 million votes were cast during the two phases of the nomination process, doubling the count from 2022. Public voting played a pivotal role, providing fans globally with a voice in selecting the stars.
In the second round, a panel of over thirty sports luminaries, including World Cup winners Iker Casillas and Francesco Totti, offered their professional judgment for a comprehensive assessment.
In a historic move, Spain’s LALIGA and Globe Soccer signed a five-year contract, leading to the collaboration of the first-ever Globe Soccer Europe Awards in 2024.
As part of Globe Soccer’s new Intercontinental Series, the 2024 awards will honor outstanding performers in Europe, spanning players, coaches, clubs, agents, directors, and other stakeholders, providing a significant boost for the Spanish League.
The winners of the Globe Soccer Europe Awards 2024 in categories such as Best Men’s Player, Best Women’s Player, Best Club, Best Coach, and Best President will automatically be nominated for the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards 2024.
This event, part of the “Road to Dubai” initiative, will be held in conjunction with Dubai Sports Council, with fan voting determining the ultimate winners.
Globe soccer awards majority owner is Ronaldo’s former agent (Jorge Mendes’s) business partner 🤣
Why do you think every year one of his Portuguese client ends up winning these awards? They keep making new awards every year.
