Dutch league: Ismael Saibari crowned player of the season

Ismael Saibari has been crowned the Eredivisie Player of the Season for 2025-2026. The dazzling Moroccan attacking midfielder was the driving force behind PSV Eindhoven as they secured their third consecutive league title.

This season in the Netherlands, the champion is Moroccan—his name is Ismael Saibari. With 15 goals and 8 assists in 27 matches, PSV's midfield maestro clinched the Eredivisie Player of the Season award. The 25-year-old was honored during a ceremony in Utrecht on May 25, where his brothers presented him with the trophy. Beyond the stats, Saibari played a pivotal role in guiding PSV to their third straight league crown.

The Moroccan ace edged out Tijjani Chery from NEC Nijmegen, Mika Godts of Ajax, Jacob Trenskow from Heerenveen, and his own PSV teammate Joey Veerman, all of whom were also in contention for the accolade.

The Atlas Lions star is under contract with PSV until June 2029 and is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career, brimming with confidence ahead of the 2026 World Cup with the Moroccan national team.
