Each month, the UNFP (French National Union of Professional Footballers) organizes the election of the best player in Ligue 1. For the March 2026 election, a Paris Saint-Germain player was in the final. The competition was between Florian Thauvin (33-year-old forward for RC Lens), Maghnes Akliouche (24-year-old attacking midfielder/winger for AS Monaco), and Folarin Balogun (24-year-old forward for Monaco). Thauvin emerged victorious.
