The God of Wealth has arrived! FIFA and Dubai join forces to establish a new award, with fans joking: The Middle East’s best making a grand entrance.

The God of Wealth from FIFA is here... Official information from FIFA reveals that FIFA and the Dubai Sports Council have reached a cooperation agreement to jointly launch a new yearly global award honoring top achievements on and off the pitch. The first award ceremony will take place in 2026, covering the period of the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup. Details regarding award categories, nominations, selection processes, and event dates will be announced gradually in the future.

At that time, the FIFA-Dubai collaborative awards ceremony will become FIFA’s sole official annual gala, bringing together the most influential players and coaches worldwide to honor the best player, best team, best coach, and various accomplishments in the world’s number one sport over the past year.

Fans have been chatting excitedly about this. Some remarked, "Look, look, Infantino can’t stop smiling — it seems he really found the God of Wealth." Others commented that the Middle East’s best player is now officially recognized by FIFA awards, which may attract more stars to play in Saudi Arabia since it makes winning FIFA awards easier. Awards like the Best West Asian Player will also emerge, as Saudi Arabia plans to launch a star-making campaign, meaning football will become more about connections and money. Some fans joked, "Don’t rename it, just call it the ‘Around Football Award,’ where a camel star could be created, surpassing even the ram."
