Canadian forward Jonathan David named CONCACAF men's player of the year

Canadian Jonathan David has been named the 2024-25 CONCACAF men's player of the year.

Rewarded for both his play at club and international level, the 25-year-old Juventus forward becomes the second Canadian man to win the award after two-time winner Alphonso Davies.

David, a two-time Canada Soccer player of the year (2019 and 2024), was also nominated for the CONCACAF award in 2021, 2022 and 2023-24.

Haiti's Melchie Dumornay, who plays her club football in France for OL Lyonnes, won the CONCACAF women's player of the year award for the second year in a row.

The awards, which cover the period from August 2024 to July 2025, were decided by a vote of CONCACAF member association players and coaches, as well as media and fans, from a list of six nominees in each category.

David is Canada's all-time men's leading scorer with 37 goals in 67 appearances.

"On behalf of the entire CONCACAF football family, I would like to congratulate Jonathan and Melchie on being named the CONCACAF players of the year," CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani, a Canadian who doubles as FIFA vice-president, said in a statement.

"Their accomplishments this past season, both at the international and club levels, representing their nations and our region across several important competitions, were truly inspiring."

At club level, David scored seven Champions League goals for France's Lille, the most by a CONCACAF player in a single edition of the tournament this century and became Lille's all-time top scorer in European competitions.

David also scored 16 Ligue 1 goals, fourth-most in the French league, before making a July move to Italy's Juventus.
