According to the magazine "The 11 People in the World", Dembele was voted as the 2025 Golden 11 People Award winner by magazine readers.

In the 2025 award voting, Dembele won 32.5% of the votes, winning the prize with a narrow margin. Yamal followed closely behind with a vote-winning rate of 30%, with Mbappe ranked third (12.5% of vote-winning rate).
