Awarded by: His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council

The remarkable career of Real Madrid’s formidable midfielder, Casemiro, is best described by his impressive accolades – five Champions League titles, three Club World Cups, the South American Championship with Brazil in 2019, and the U20 World Cup in 2011. A true anchor in his teams, he displays exceptional ball recovery skills, a keen sense of the game, and a noteworthy contribution to the offensive play, marking him as a pivotal leader. His ascent has been consistent, starting with São Paulo, then moving to Castilla in 2013, the stepping stone to Real Madrid, where he has since made 209 appearances and virtually swept the board in terms of silverware. Casemiro can proudly say he’s left a lasting legacy in a team that is the dream destination for all footballers.
