The 20th anniversary of the Golden Foot Monaco Award Embraces Women and Men

The 20th anniversary of the Golden Foot Monaco Award took place on 21 December under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. On the Champions promenade in Monaco at this 20th anniversary award ceremony was Barcelona striker, Robert Lewandowski in a star-studded ceremony in the presence of Prince Albert II and Louis Ducruet. The 34-year-old also picked up his second consecutive European Golden Shoe a few months ago. The Polish captain has enjoyed a strong start in Barcelona, scoring 13 league goals in 14 appearances in La Liga. He joins other soccer legends such as Mohamed Salah (2021), Cristiano Ronaldo (2020) and Luka Modric (2019), winners of the last editions. The peculiarity of this award is that the winner leaves a permanent mould of his footprints on “The Champions Promenade”, a “Walk of Fame” of international football on the seafront of the Principality of Monaco. A football player can win the Golden Foot award only once.

Kosovare Asllani is the first to win the Women’s Golden Foot. The 33-year-old plays today at AC Milan in mid-field. It’s a great move forward for women’s football. The Golden Foot Prestige prize rewards a club or federation president. Florentino Pérez, the famous manager of Real Madrid, is the third winner of the prize, after Andrea Agnelli in 2020 and Gabriele Gravina in 2021.
