David becomes the second Canadian man to win the Concacaf Men’s Player of the Year award, following two-time winner Alphonso Davies. David excelled at both the club level with LOSC Lille in France, and international level with Canada in 2024/25.
The striker made history by becoming Canada’s all-time top scorer with 36 goals in 67 appearances, including the winner in the country’s 2-1 victory over the United States in the Concacaf Nations League Third Place Match. In eight total matches for his country in 2024/25, he tallied four goals and three assists.
At the club level, he scored seven UEFA Champions League goals for Lille, the most by a Concacaf player in a single edition of the tournament in the 21st century, and became Lille’s all-time top scorer in European competitions. David also netted 16 Ligue 1 goals, the fourth-most of any player in the league.
Melchie Dumornay (HAI) | OL Lyonnes (FRA)
Dumornay becomes just the second woman to win the Concacaf Women’s Player of the Year award more than once, and in consecutive seasons, following Alex Morgan. She once again excelled on the field as a representative for both Haiti and OL Lyonnes in 2024/25, following her efforts for both teams that saw her win the award in 2023/24.
The standout young midfielder was named the UEFA Women's Champions League Young Player of the Season – for the second consecutive season – and to the Best XI for the competition; she scored six goals in the tournament, including two of her side’s three goals in the semifinals against Arsenal. She also helped lead her club to a league title and was the second-highest scorer in the division with 15 goals.
