This week in Zadar, the numbers tell the story.
The Sofascore Player of the Season award show will open the Sunset Sports Festival 2025, and it comes with a top-tier presenting team and global attention.
Kate Scott, familiar to Champions League viewers on CBS Sports, will host the ceremony. Known for her work alongside names like Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, and Micah Richards, Kate brings professionalism, clarity, and experience from football’s biggest stage to Zadar.
She’ll be joined by Peter Schmeichel, one of the most respected figures in football history. With a career that includes Premier League titles and international success, his perspective adds weight to an evening built around standout performance.

Directing the show is Pete Radovich, the creative lead behind CBS’s Champions League coverage. With multiple Emmy Awards and a reputation for turning football into compelling stories, Pete brings a distinctive visual and editorial approach to the Sofascore stage.
The Sofascore Player of the Season award is built on what happens across an entire campaign. It’s powered by the Sofascore Rating – a live, data-driven metric that reflects consistent performance across the season. No votes, no panels. Just season-long numbers that speak for themselves.
