Cristiano Ronaldo to Receive Maradona Award for Prolific Goalscoring

Football maestro Cristiano Ronaldo is poised to clinch yet another accolade, as he is set to be bestowed with the Maradona Award for Best Goalscorer. The recognition comes on the back of Ronaldo’s stellar performance in 2023, where he netted an impressive 54 goals donning both the Al-Nassr and Portugal jerseys. 

Outshining notable players such as Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, and Erling Haaland, Ronaldo’s goal-scoring prowess is unparalleled.

The grand occasion for this acknowledgment is slated to be the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards 2023, a prestigious ceremony scheduled for January 19 at Atlantis, The Palm. In addition to the Best Goalscorer honor, Ronaldo is also in contention for other esteemed categories, including Best Men’s Player, Best Middle East Player, and Fans’ Favourite Player.

The verdict on these awards will be decided by a distinguished panel of judges featuring iconic figures like Francesco Totti, Iker Casillas, Luis Figo, and Marcello Lippi. Currently enjoying a well-deserved hiatus, Ronaldo is anticipated to make a comeback in a high-profile friendly against Inter Miami on February 1 at the Riyadh Cup.

This recognition underscores Ronaldo’s unwavering excellence on the field and solidifies his standing as one of football’s most celebrated figures. The upcoming Dubai Globe Soccer Awards and Ronaldo’s return to action provide football enthusiasts with exciting events to anticipate in the coming weeks.
