Cristian Cásseres is being recognized for his success on the field.
The New York Red Bulls midfielder was named Venezuelan Player of the Year at the 2nd annual El Mundo Es Un Balon awards ceremony. The 21-year-old had a strong year for club and country, maturing from developing prospect into deciding factor. The event is hosted by Radio Deporte 1590 AM based in the capital city of Caracas.
Cásseres attended the ceremony with his father, who retired from the sport in 2018 following a 20-year career and 28 senior international caps.
