In a night filled with celebration, emotion, and recognition of Ghanaian football excellence, Thomas Partey stole the spotlight at the 2025 Ghana Football Awards as he was crowned Footballer of the Year. The Arsenal midfielder edged past tough competition from Antoine Semenyo and Inaki Williams to claim Ghana’s top individual football honour for the second time in his career—his first dating back to 2019.

Partey’s award was a testament to his consistent performances for both club and country, as well as his influential leadership on and off the pitch. But the accolades didn’t stop there. He also jointly received the Football for Good Award, alongside Tariq Lamptey of Brighton & Hove Albion, recognising their philanthropic impact on Ghanaian communities.
