In keeping with this tradition, new award categories have been added to the 2022 line-up. The CNN Off The Pitch Award will acknowledge the achievements of an individual, club or other soccer organisation for their impact on wider society, culture, their charitable work or as a role model for others.
The Power Horse Emerging Player of the Year Award will recognise youth players who stood out in the last season with their incredible performances.
The winners will be chosen by the fans and an international jury of sports coaches, directors and club presidents.
Saeed Hareb, Secretary General of the Dubai Sports Council commented, “Since the launch of the Dubai International Sports Conference in 2006 and the Dubai Globe Soccer Awards in 2010, the event has become a global platform to highlight the vision and future of football both in the UAE and globally.
