It is the second time that Ronaldo has won the award, since he also won it in 2023.
During an interview at the beginning of the ceremony, Ronaldo revealed his plans after his retirement.
'I'm not a coach. Am I never going to be a coach, president of the club? No. Maybe the owner of the club,' he said.
The striker was then pressed about his comments and the interviewer asked: “Is that what you want to do, become a club owner?”
Ronaldo replied: “Probably.” I'll see it. “It will depend on the timing and the right opportunities.”
“Do you have any in mind?” the interviewer asked and Ronaldo replied: “Not yet, maybe some.”
Another notable winner of the night was Lamine Yamal, who won the “Emerging Player of the Year” trophy.
Vinicius Jr was named Best Player and Best Forward, while his Real Madrid teammate took home the award for Best Midfielder.
The winners were decided online after fans from more than 200 countries and territories cast a record 100 million votes.
Additionally, the Globe Soccer mobile app surpassed 1.5 million downloads, underscoring the global appeal of the event.
