LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Premier global
nutrition company, Herbalife (NYSE: HLF), congratulates
International soccer star Cristiano
Ronaldo, an Herbalife Nutrition-sponsored athlete since
2013, on being named, for the second consecutive year, The Best
FIFA Men's Player 2017. The award was determined through a
combined voting process that included the votes of team captains
and managers from national teams all around the globe, an online
public ballot of football fans, and votes by a select group of
global media representatives.
"Cristiano proves once again that his dedication on the field
and commitment to nutrition has elevated him to the top of his
game, earning him one of FIFA's top honors, The Best Men's Player
Award," said Rich Goudis, CEO of
Herbalife Nutrition.
Ronaldo, named the most famous athlete in the world by ESPN,
adds to other major awards and accomplishments in 2017. He
won the 2016/17 UEFA Men's Player of the year for the second
consecutive year, after once again leading Real Madrid to the UEFA
Champions League title and finishing as the top goal scorer, as
well as helping his team win the Spanish La Liga cup. In
2017, he also became the first player to score 100 goals in UEFA
Champions League and European competitions. He currently
holds four Ballon d' Or titles, the annual football award presented
by France Football, and is in the running this year for his
fifth.
