End of Year Awards - 2025
In a bit of a surprise, it was Marcel Hasselbaink that took home the World Golden Ball ahead of strike partner Caca. I didn't pick favorites in the media, but my money would have been on Caca to win. This marks two years in a row that Hasselbaink has won the award and he matches Caca with three of the awards overall.
Not to be outdone, Caca took home the World Player of the Year award, ahead of strike partner Hasselbaink.

Caca has absolutely owned this award and this marks the fifth time he's won it in the past six seasons.
Once again our dynamic duo headline the World Team of the Year as the two starting strikers. They have done so for a staggering seven consecutive seasons, a streak that began in 2019.
Caca reclaims the European Striker of the Year award after Hasselbaink won it last season. This is the fourth time he has bagged the award.
James Jones pulls a bit of an upset in bringing home the European Midfielder of the Year award. This marks the first time that the award has been won by a Newport County player.
