Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski and Mohamed Salah are among the confirmed finalists for the upcoming Dubai Globe Soccer Awards scheduled for December 27.

For the first time in more than ten years, the finalists have been completely chosen by the fans.

Fans from around the world voted for their favourite international players, clubs, coaches and agents across seven different categories.

The winner of the eighth category – the Player Career Award – will be announced on the evening itself.

Ronaldo, Messi, Salah and Ronaldinho have been nominated for 'Player of the Century', while Ronaldo and Messi are also vying for 'Player of the Year' award, alongside Lewandowski.

Due to the global impact of COVID-19, this year’s Dubai Globe Soccer Awards will be a special edition, highlighting 2020’s top talent alongside legendary players, clubs and agents from the past 20 years.

For the first time, four of the awards will consider the seasons contested by the nominees between 2001 and 2020 in a unique series that celebrates the Best of the Century.

The Dubai Sports Council and Globe Soccer Awards will strengthen their 12-year relationship by staging the annual edition of the Dubai International Sports Conference prior to the awards’ ceremony.
