International
football super star Cristiano Ronaldo, an Herbalife Nutrition-sponsored athlete
since 2013, was recently named “The Best FIFA Men’s Player” for the second
consecutive year.
The award was determined through
a combined voting process that included the votes of team captains and managers
from national teams all around the globe, an online public ballot of football
fans, and votes by a select group of global media representatives.
“Cristiano
proves once again that his dedication on the field and commitment to nutrition
has elevated him to the top of his game, earning him one of FIFA’s top honors,
The Best Men’s Player Award,” said Rich Goudis, CEO of Herbalife Nutrition.
Ronaldo,
named the most famous athlete in the world by ESPN, adds to other major awards and
accomplishments in 2017. He won the 2016/17 UEFA Men’s Player of the
year for the second consecutive year, after once again leading Real Madrid to
the UEFA Champions League title and finishing as the top goal scorer, as
well as helping his team win the Spanish La Liga cup. In 2017, he
also became the first player to score 100 goals in UEFA Champions League and
European competitions. He currently
holds four Ballon d’ Or titles, the
annual football award presented by France Football, and is in the running this
year for his fifth.
