It’s the second time Ronaldo has won the prize having also claimed it in 2023.
During an interview at the start of the ceremony Ronaldo revealed his plans after retirement.
‘I’m not a coach. I’m never going to be a coach, president of the club? No. Maybe owner of the club,’ he said.
The forward was then pressed on his comments, with the interviewer asking: ‘Is that what you want to do, to become a club owner?’
Ronaldo responded: ‘Probably. I will see. It will depend on the moment, the right opportunities.’
‘Have you got any in mind?,’ the interviewer asked and Ronaldo answered: ‘Not yet, a few maybe.’
Other notable winner on the night included Lamine Yamal, who won the ‘Emerging Player of the Year’ trophy.
Vinicius Jr was named the Best Player and Best Forward, while Real Madrid team-mate took home the Best Midfielder award.
The winners were decided online after a record-breaking 100 million votes were casted by fans from more than 200 countries and territories.
Additionally, the Globe Soccer mobile app surpassed 1.5 million downloads, underlining the event’s global appeal.
