The awards were being held for the first time in four years following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Saudi Arabia’s Salem Al-Dawsari took the men’s award after leading Al-Hilal to the Asian Champions League and Club World Cup finals.
Al-Dawsari, who scored Saudi Arabia’s winner in their shock 2-1 victory over Argentina at the World Cup last year, took the men’s award after also leading Al-Hilal to the final of the Asian Champions League and the Club World Cup. “I am very happy with this achievement and I would like to thank the leadership in Saudi Arabia for their keen interest in athletes and support for sport,” said Al-Dawsari, who won ahead of Qatar’s Almoez Ali and Mathew Leckie of Australia.
She becomes the third woman to claim the award more than once, joining Japanese duo Aya Miyama and Homare Sawa as a multiple title-holder.
