Paris Saint-Germain Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been recognized for his exceptional leadership, receiving the prestigious Best President of the Year award. The accolade was presented at the Golden Boy 2025 Awards ceremony in Turin, Italy, in early November. This high-profile honor highlights Al-Khelaifi’s role in steering the Parisian club to a historic and unprecedented level of success.
The award, organized annually by Italian sports newspaper Tuttosport, specifically recognized PSG’s remarkable 2024/25 campaign. Under Al-Khelaifi’s strategic vision, the club secured an incredible quadruple, capped by the long-sought first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy. This achievement finally elevated PSG to the undisputed pinnacle of European and world football.
The recognition extends beyond just silverware. The Al Khelaifi Golden Boy Award celebrates his successful pivot away from the high-spending “bling-bling” era toward a more sustainable project, heavily focused on youth development and collective success under coach Luis Enrique. His ability to restructure the club and build a balanced, dominant squad was a key factor in the vote.
Al-Khelaifi’s triumph was part of a major sweep for the French club at the ceremony, which also saw PSG’s Désiré Doué win the Golden Boy award for best under-21 player. The Al Khelaifi Golden Boy Award solidifies his status as a football executive and promises continued efforts to strengthen PSG’s structure and maintain their hard-won winning momentum.
