Leverkusen in the race for Laureus Sport award
Bayer Leverkusen is nominated for the 2025 Laureus Sport award in the “Breakthrough of the Year” category. Die Werkself won each of the past three domestic trophies, and they also reached the final of the 2024-25 Europa League.
The annual award ceremony honors individuals and teams from the world of sport. Bayern Munich won “Team of the Year” twice thanks to their treble-winning seasons. The German national team also won the accolade in 2015 for winning the World Cup the previous year.
Leverkusen is the only team on the list of nominees for “Breakthrough of the Year”. Lamine Yamal will be the favorite after his splendid campaign with Spain and Barcelona, while Victor Wembanyama also made the list following his debut season in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs.
The remaining three nomination places are taken by Olympic gold medalists Letsile Tebogo (200m), Julien Alfred (100m) and Summer McIntosh (200m butterfly, swimming). The voting process will involve Laureus World Sports Academy’s ambassadors. The winners of the 25th Laureus Sport award will be announced in Madrid on April 21.
