Ederson Wins Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper Award

Manchester City and Brazil goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes, has been crowned the winner of the Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper award following his instrumental role in leading Pep Guardiola’s side to a historic domestic and European treble last season.

The 30-year-old shot-stopper produced a series of outstanding performances between the sticks as Manchester City claimed the English Premier League title, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in 2022/2023.

Arguably his finest display came in the European Cup final against Inter Milan, making five crucial saves, including a stunning stop late on to secure a 1-0 victory.

After being nominated alongside Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois and Morocco’s Yassine Bounou, Ederson claimed the award for the first time in his career at a ceremony in London. He thanked his family and teammates in his acceptance speech, admitting they had been “very important” throughout a memorable year.

As well as lifting three major trophies with City, Ederson also got his hands on the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup during a phenomenal 2022/2023 season. His exploits have now been recognised by FIFA with one of world football’s most prestigious individual accolades.
