You, Yes You, Can Help Crown the King (or Queen) of European Football! (But Seriously, How Do I Vote for the Dubai d'Or?)
Ever feel like your opinion on who absolutely dominated the pitch this season deserves to be heard? Well, fret no more, armchair football fanatic, because you, yes you, can help decide who takes home the prestigious Dubai d'Or (or Globe Soccer Award, for the less flamboyant among us).
It's Time for the KAFD Globe Soccer Awards Europe Edition 2024!
That's right, folks! The glitz, the glam, and the sheer adoration of footballing excellence is back for its European edition, and you get to be a part of it (without having to squeeze into those uncomfortable sequined tuxedos, thankfully).
But First, a History Lesson (Kind Of)
The Dubai d'Or, or the cooler-sounding Globe Soccer Award, isn't some fly-by-night award show your uncle whipped up in his basement. This ceremony has been gracing the world with its shiny trophies since 2010, with legendary names like Cristiano Ronaldo (cue dramatic music) taking home the Best Men's Player award a whopping six times. So yeah, it's a pretty big deal.
Okay, Okay, Enough Name-Dropping. How Do I Actually Vote?
Glad you asked! Unlike some award shows (cougheveryone cough*), the Globe Soccer Awards actually value your opinion, the opinion of the die-hard fan who religiously watches every kick and scream. Here's the lowdown:
- The voting window is closed as of May 15th, 2024. Sorry if you were busy conquering your fantasy football league that week, but fear not, the next round is just around the corner (think of it as pre-season training for your voting skills).
- The voting happens in two stages: First, you, the glorious football fanatic, cast your vote for your favorite players and teams. Then, a panel of experts (who probably don't have to argue with their significant others about which team gets control of the TV) have their say.
- Download the Globe Soccer Awards app or head to their website (https://vote.globesoccer.com/rules/). There, you'll find a list of the nominees for categories like Best Men's Player, Best Women's Club, and Emerging Player (because we all love to see the future stars rising).
Remember: When casting your vote, channel your inner-scout and consider the entire season's performance, not just that hat-trick your favorite player scored against your least favorite team.
