About Globe Soccer Awards
Globe Soccer World is one of the awards events in the world of international football that recognizes the extraordinary achievements of players, coaches, and other individuals who contribute to the development of this sport.
Globe Soccer World was first held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2010. Founded by Globe Soccer, the gala event is held every January in Dubai to honor the leading figures in world football.
"At the heart of Globe Soccer's mission is a commitment to celebrating all aspects of the beautiful game," the website states, as quoted by Sporting News. "Their awards celebrate not only players, but also all stakeholders in football, from chairman and agents to directors and referees."
The awards were founded by agent Jorge Mendes along with Italian businessmen Riccardo Silva and Tommaso Bendoni. Mendes has won the Agent of the Year category in 11 of its 13 years of existence.

The Globe Soccer World event typically includes several award categories that honor a variety of outstanding individuals and groups. For the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards, winners will be determined in each of the following 12 categories:
