Barcelona forward Raphinha’s partner, Taia Belloli, launched an online campaign on Instagram, urging fans to vote for the Brazilian to win FIFA’s ‘The Best’ award, declaring: “Let us win what is rightfully ours.”
The campaign to secure the prestigious FIFA Men’s ‘The Best’ award for Barcelona star Raphinha has been dramatically intensified, with the player’s wife, Taia Belloli, issuing a passionate and direct plea for fan support.
According to Get Spanish Football News (GSFN) reporting, Belloli took to her official social media account on Friday, specifically calling on Blaugrana supporters and followers to mobilize and vote for the Brazilian forward.
The wide-man, known for his relentless energy and attacking threat, was recently included on the 11-man shortlist for the 2025 ‘The Best’ award, an accolade recognizing the world’s top performer in men’s football.
Raphinha, the former Leeds United player, is reported to have enjoyed a spectacular campaign last time out, contributing to the attack with over 60 direct goal involvements throughout the season.
Despite this exceptional output, the player finished in fifth place in the earlier Ballon d’Or standings, a result that appears to have galvanized his partner into action to ensure maximum backing for his current nomination.
Seeking to leverage the club’s enormous worldwide following, Belloli unveiled a post on her Instagram account featuring a direct link to the official voting page.
The image was accompanied by an emphatic message to the fanbase, encouraging them to deliver the coveted individual accolade through the public vote segment.
The rallying cry was brief but powerful, featuring the quoted message:
“Let us win what is rightfully ours.”
The public voting process is a critical component of ‘The Best’ award, alongside votes from national team coaches, captains, and selected journalists.
The social media push from Raphinha’s partner signals a clear strategy from the star’s camp to utilize the massive fan base to influence the outcome.
