CRISTIANO RONALDO WINS THE 18th GOLDEN FOOT AWARD

In 2020, the champion of Juventus of Turin and the Portugal team receives the most votes from football fans around the world.
The first GOLDEN FOOT PRESTIGE is awarded to club president Andrea Agnelli for his entire career.

Fans and supporters from all over the world have chosen the best footballer of 2020, awarding the 18th Golden Foot Award to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The star of Juventus and the Portuguese national team received the highest number of votes among the 10 contenders selected this year:
Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Neymar Jr. (PSG), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Gerard Piqué (Barcelona), Mohamed Salah (FC Liverpool), Arturo Vidal (Inter).
As every year, voting took place on the official website – www.goldenfoot.com – and ended on November 20, 2020.

The history of world football is made up of great champions, but also great club presidents. That’s why this year saw the first Golden Foot Prestige Award, a recognition dedicated exclusively to a president who is still active, and who has distinguished himself by his results and for having achieved the ambitious goals of his team.
The Golden Foot Prize Commission, following a survey of the international press, has decided to award the first Golden Foot Prestige Award to Andrea Agnelli – President of the Juventus Football Club, who has won the championship 9 consecutive times and can now boast of having won 17 trophies in 10 years. He is thus one of the most successful presidents in the history of international football.

The Golden Foot organisation wishes to make it known that in the current context, the health crisis has prevented the running of the 2020 awards ceremony and its traditional gala evening which usually takes place in the heart of the Principality of Monaco.
We will therefore send you a press release to announce the details of the awards for this edition.
Radio Monte Carlo has been the Official Radio of the Golden Foot Award since its first edition.
