Canada’s Jonathan David one of six nominees for CONCACAF Men’s Player of the Year

Canadian Jonathan David is one of six nominees for the CONCACAF 2024-25 Men’s Player of the Year.

The 25-year-old Juventus forward is up against Mexico’s Edson Álvarez (Fenerbahce, Turkey), Raúl Jiménez (Fulham, England) and Angel Sepulveda (Cruz Azul, Mexico), American Malik Tillman (Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Germany) and Costa Rica’s Manfred Ugalde (FC Spartak Moscow, Russia).

David, Canada’s all-time leading men’s scorer with 37 goals, scored seven Champions League goals for Lille as well as 16 goals in Ligue 1 play prior to joining Italy’s Juventus in July

Canada captain Alphonso Davies won the CONCACAF award in 2021 and ’22.

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.

The CONCACAF Women’s Player of the Year nominees are Mexico’s Charlyn Corral (CF Pachuca, Mexico) and Jacqueline Ovalle (Orlando Pride, NWSL), Americans Emily Fox (Arsenal, England) and Lindsey Heaps (OL Lyonnes, France), Haiti’s Melchie Dumornay (OL Lyonnes, France), and Jamaica’s Khadija (Bunny) Shaw (Manchester City, England).

The winners will be decided by a weighted vote involving coaches, players, media and fans. The fan voting period ends Sept. 30.

Former Canada captain Christine Sinclair and Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Sebastian Berhalter are among the 12 finalists for CONCACAF Goal of the Year.

Sinclair is nominated for her goal against Club América Femenil in the CONCACAF W Champions Cup while Berhalter is up for his goal against Pumas UNAM in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Lionel Messi is also up for Goal of the Year, which will be decided in a fan vote.
