Real Madrid’s Vinícius Junior has officially been named The Best FIFA Men’s Player for 2024, solidifying his place among football’s elite.
The award, presented at a grand ceremony in Doha, marks the peak of a sensational year for the Brazilian superstar.
Vinícius played a crucial role in Real Madrid’s unforgettable double last season, winning both the La Liga title and the Champions League.
The recognition didn’t go unnoticed by his Brazil teammate Neymar. Sharing his excitement on social media, Neymar posted a heartfelt tribute with a picture of Vinícius holding the trophy.

Vinícius Junior this season so far
Despite narrowly missing out on the Ballon d’Or earlier this year to Manchester City’s Rodri, Vinícius has been in phenomenal form.
In just 20 appearances across all competitions this season, the forward has already recorded 13 goals and nine assists, underscoring his incredible influence on the pitch.
But Vinícius’s journey is far from over. Real Madrid is set to face Mexican club Pachuca in the Intercontinental Cup final this week. All eyes will be on the 24-year-old as he aims to add another trophy to an already exceptional season.
As Vinícius continues to rise, the support from teammates like Neymar and the global football community reflects his growing stature as a true icon of the sport.
