Cristiano Ronaldo's New Favorite Awards Ceremony
Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most iconic figures in the world of football, recently made headlines again by criticizing the organizers of the Ballon d’Or while heaping praise on the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards. According to the Portuguese star, Dubai is not only a 'fairer' but also a more worthy location for celebrating football. But what lies behind Ronaldo's opinion, and why does this event stand out in the world football calendar?
An evening celebrating the greatest in football
The Dubai Globe Soccer Awards is an annual meeting point for the stars of worldwide football. This year's event was held at the stunning Atlantis the Royal hotel, a symbol of luxury and elegance in itself. Among the star-studded guests were names like Neymar, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Lamine Yamal, and Thibaut Courtois. In addition, legendary players such as Alessandro Del Piero and Rio Ferdinand also attended to show their respect for the event.
Behind the cordon dividing the VIP section and platinum zone, excited children waved their hands and shouted the names of their favorites. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly Cristiano Ronaldo. As he stepped onto the stage, the entire room resounded with the famous 'Siuuu' chants, a trademark of Ronaldo's iconic goal celebration.
Why does Ronaldo criticize the Ballon d'Or?
Ronaldo has not hidden his criticism of the Ballon d’Or organizers. In his opinion, the awards ceremony is increasingly losing its credibility as political and subjective decisions influence the outcomes. In contrast, the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards, according to him, is an 'honest' platform that truly prioritizes sports achievements and accomplishments.
'Dubai always respects and fairly rewards those who deserve it. That’s why I love this event,' said Ronaldo, while thanking the city for hosting the awards ceremony year after year.
Dubai, the home of football and recognition
For years, Dubai has been not only a top location for luxury and innovation but also for sports and particularly football. Over the years, the Globe Soccer Awards has become one of the most significant events in the football world, uniquely honoring outstanding figures in the sport. The ceremony recognizes not only the best players but also coaches, managers, and other behind-the-scenes individuals who contribute to the development of the sport.
The organizers of the event always strive to provide an experience that reflects the special atmosphere of Dubai. The venue for the awards, Atlantis the Royal, with its breathtaking views and unparalleled services, itself enhances the prestige of the event.
Ronaldo’s special relationship with Dubai
For Cristiano Ronaldo, Dubai is not just a place to relax but a city that always treats him with special care. He has often stated that Dubai is an inspiring place for him, motivating him both in sports and in his personal life. The Globe Soccer Awards is the platform where he can continuously showcase why he is considered one of the world's greatest.
The future football stars and the Globe Soccer Awards
This year's event also paid special attention to young talents, like Lamine Yamal, who is already one of the most promising stars in the football world. This further proves that the Globe Soccer Awards celebrates not only the stars of the present but also those of the future.
Summary
According to Cristiano Ronaldo, the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards is not only an alternative but also better than the Ballon d’Or. The event not only highlights sports achievements but also duly celebrates every segment of the football profession. Dubai has once again proven to be one of the most inspiring cities in the world, remaining a central hub for the elite of the football world. Ronaldo continues to be a standout figure of the event, reminding everyone present why he is considered one of the sport's greatest legends.
