Pedri and Clàudia Pina Honored with Barça Players Award 2025

FC Barcelona has announced that footballers Pedri González and Clàudia Pina have been awarded the prestigious Barça Players Award for the year 2025. This honor, bestowed by the FC Barcelona Players’ Association, recognizes players who exemplify exceptional values both on and off the pitch, including commitment to the club, respect for fans, referees, and opponents.

The voting process for the award involved members of the Players’ Association, who cast their votes over the past few weeks. This marks the second consecutive win for Pedri, who previously received the award in 2022. At just 22 years old, Pedri has become a cornerstone of Barcelona’s midfield, renowned for his technical skills, tactical intelligence, and remarkable game vision. Beyond his footballing abilities, he is celebrated for his humility and willingness to engage in social initiatives. Since February 2025, he has served as an ambassador for the Barça Genuine Foundation, a project dedicated to promoting inclusivity for people with intellectual disabilities through sport. His dedication has also extended to various social causes, particularly those impacting his native Canary Islands.

Clàudia Pina, a forward from Montcada i Reixac, receives the Barça Players Award for the first time. Her recognition stems from her ambition, dedication, and leadership on the field. Pina is not only acknowledged for her talent but also for her humility and personal commitment to social involvement. She has actively collaborated with numerous charitable organizations and participated in solidarity events with both the Barça Foundation and local charities. Pina succeeds Aitana Bonmatí, who had won the award for the previous four years.

The formal award ceremony is set to take place in the coming weeks, celebrating the accomplishments and values of both athletes. The Barça Players Award underscores the importance of integrity and commitment in sports, reflecting the ethos of FC Barcelona as a club that values not only sporting excellence but also social responsibility.

This recognition of Pedri and Pina highlights the evolving landscape of professional sports, where athletes are increasingly held to standards that encompass their contributions beyond just performance on the field. As FC Barcelona continues to embody these values, the club reinforces its commitment to fostering a culture of respect, inclusivity, and community engagement among its players and supporters alike.
