Brazil and Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr was crowned the FIFA Best Player of 2024 on December 18 in Doha, edging out Manchester City's Rodri, who had previously beaten him to the Ballon d'Or earlier this year. The award recognised Vinicius' stellar 2024 season, in which he played a crucial role in Real Madrid’s successful 2023-2024 season, while Spain and Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmati clinched the women’s award for the second consecutive year.
