Tomorrow in Dubai the 14th edition of the Globe Soccer Awards will effectively close the season of awards reserved for world football, in the traditional venue of the United Arab Emirates and within the framework of the 18th Dubai International Sports Conference organised by the Dubai Sports Council.
This year's edition will take place at Atlantis, The Palm, within the Palm Jumeirah, one of the largest man-made islands in the world and an engineering marvel.The Dubai International Sports Conference: The evening will open as usual with the panel of the Dubai International Sports Conference organised by the Dubai Sports Council, which will be hosted by Amanda Davies of CNN and will see the direct participation of the most important protagonists of the world of international football present at the awards ceremony of the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards, with a large representation of the world, European and English champions of City.
The Awards Gala: will start at 19.30:16.30 pm in Dubai (2023:XNUMX pm in Italy) and will award the XNUMX season awards to every football excellence, category by category (footballers, managers, teams, agents, journalists and influencers in the sector). There are many names among the candidates for the different categories, starting with champions of the caliber of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, to name a few, who this year are competing for the Best Men's Player, and among the female footballers Linda Caicedo, Sam Kerr and Aitana Bonmati.
City's strong presence in the Nominations: From 2010, the first edition of the event, to 2024, the football geography has changed profoundly and it is no coincidence that tomorrow evening we will probably celebrate the extraordinary journey that led Manchester City, the spearhead of the group headed by Abu Dhabi, to dominate the entire 2023 season, winning five titles as a sign of absolute domination.
At the centre of this feat is Pep Guardiola, even greater and more deserving if we consider that his current 5 titles are combined with the six he won in 2009 with Barcelona (at the time he also won the national Super Cup), who rightly emerges with a double degree in Football, confirming the quality of his work and his ability to impose a game that has set a precedent in the technical sector. But it is not only Guardiola who deserves unanimous approval, given that the great rise of the City Group is confirmed in the results of other clubs (Girona is fighting for the Liga against Real, Barca and Atletico, and Palermo in Italy is already planning to be promoted to Serie A by 2025) and shows that the football operation in the Gulf has been fully successful, a sure accomplice of the growing interest that has led the Arab world to invest in the globalization of this sport between one World Cup (Qatar 2022) and another (Saudi Arabia 2034), while the Asian Cup is in full swing in Qatar. Dubai and the Awards have played their role in this acceleration and will not fail to confirm it in the event scheduled for tomorrow evening in the splendid Atlantis venue.
