Thomas Partey crowned 2025 Ghana Footballer of the Year
In a testament to enduring class and leadership, Arsenal midfield maestro Thomas Partey has been officially crowned the 2025 Ghana Footballer of the Year. The prestigious award, recognizing the most outstanding Ghanaian player over the past season, was presented to the 32-year-old at a ceremony in Accra over the weekend.
Partey, a consistent powerhouse for both club and country, saw off strong competition to claim the honour. His victory underscores another year of commanding performances at the heart of Arsenal's midfield, where his defensive acumen, ball-winning prowess, and ability to dictate tempo remained crucial as the Gunners challenged for top honours. While specific club silverware may have eluded Arsenal narrowly, Partey's individual consistency and influence were undeniable.
For the Black Stars, Partey's significance reached new heights. Assuming an even greater leadership mantle, he became the undisputed heartbeat of the national team. His experience and calming presence proved vital in navigating a challenging period, particularly during the successful qualification campaign for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). His performances in crucial qualifiers, often under immense pressure, solidified his status as the team's indispensable leader both on and off the pitch.
Upon receiving the award, a visibly moved Partey expressed deep gratitude: "This is a huge honour. Representing Ghana is always my greatest pride, and to be recognised by my country in this way is incredibly special. I share this with my teammates, both at Arsenal and for the Black Stars, the coaching staff, and the amazing fans who support us relentlessly. The work continues as we build towards AFCON."
The award solidifies Partey's legacy within Ghanaian football. More than just his technical ability, it acknowledges his resilience, professionalism, and dedication to elevating Ghana's standing. As the Black Stars prepare for AFCON 2025, Partey's status as the reigning Footballer of the Year adds further weight to his role as the inspirational figure Ghana will rely upon for success on the continental stage. His crown is a recognition of excellence earned through unwavering commitment.
