Berlin, 17 December 2025 (dpa/MIA) - Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé and Spain star Aitana Bonmatí won the FIFA Best player awards for 2025 on Tuesday following a vote.

France men's international Dembélé, who helped PSG to a treble including their first Champions League title in May, also won the rival Ballon d'Or award in September. It is his first FIFA accolade.

"It has been a fantastic year individually and collectively," he said on stage in Doha.

Bonmatí picks up the women's award for the third straight year after shining at the 2025 Euros, where her side lost to England in the final.

"I will enjoy it," the forward said from Barcelona, where she is recovering from a broken leg.

Coaches of the year were PSG's Luis Enrique and England boss Sarina Wiegman, who took the award for the fifth time. She has reached five major women's finals in a row with the Netherlands and England, winning three of them.

FIFA said 16 million votes had been cast overall for an array of awards, with fans, national team captains and coaches, media representatives and a panel of ex-players being involved in choosing the various winners.

The ceremony, attended by around 800 guests including FIFA president Gianni Infantino, was held in Doha ahead of the Intercontinental Cup final between PSG and Flamengo in Qatar on Wednesday. Luis Enrique was not at the dinner to pick up his award despite being in Qatar.

Hampton rewarded for Euro saves

Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma scooped the FIFA Best male goalkeeper award having starred for previous club PSG.

After a trophy-laden season with the French side last term, he soon fell out with bosses and moved on to Manchester City.

"It's a real honour to receive this award. I'm very, very happy," he said in a video message.

He is the first Italian to take the prize since Gianluigi Buffon in 2017.

England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was named Best female keeper after the Lionesses retained their European Championship title in July. Her Chelsea side also won a domestic treble.

"Thank you very much to everyone who voted, it's greatly appreciated and it really means a lot," Hampton, 25, said.

Mexican player Lizbeth Ovalle won the Marta award for the best women's goal after her spectacular "reverse scorpion kick" for Tigres against Chivas Guadalajara. She has since moved to Orlando Pride.

Regensburg doctor, Zakho SC also feted

The Puskás award for best men's goal went to Santiago Montiel for his overhead kick from outside the box for Club Atlético Independiente in Argentina.

Jahn Regensburg team doctor Andreas Harlass-Neuking won the FIFA Fair Play Award for saving the life of a fan at a German second-division game in April.

Before Regensburg's match at Magdeburg, he was made aware that a home fan had collapsed.

He jumped over a barrier and resuscitated the supporter, who was then transferred to a local hospital and survived.

"Your sportsmanship, altruism and selflessness are reflective of the very best aspects of our beautiful game. All of us at FIFA and the global football community thank you wholeheartedly for making a difference that day," Infantino said on social media.

This was the 10th edition of the annual FIFA Best awards in their current incarnation.

The fan award went to supporters of Iraqi side Zakho SC, who have been rewarded "for their efforts in helping children who suffer with illnesses."

In May, fans threw thousands of stuffed toys onto the pitch from the stands, which were then gathered and donated to sick youngsters.
