Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane has not been named in the FIFPRO World 11.
Over 18,000 professional footballers have chosen their best men's team, with the final 11 being chosen from a group of 26 selected finalists.
Kane, who won the Ballon d'Or ahead of Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe by one of the smallest margins in history, was among the 26 finalists but did not make the final team.
Mbappe, Manchester City's Erling Haaland, Barcelona's Lamine Yamal and Inter Miami's Lionel Messi were named in a Kane-less front four, which also excluded Cristiano Ronaldo and Michael Olise.
Kane became the first English Ballon d'Or winner last month since Michael Owen in 2001, and only the fifth in history following in the footsteps Sir Stanley Matthews, Sir Bobby Charlton, Kevin Keegan and Owen.
The Bayern Munich star received just 27.6 per cent of votes of all the forwards, with Haaland marginally bettering him at 28.4 per cent. It is the first time since the award's inception in 2005 that the Ballon d'Or winner has not been selected for the XI.
Kane's international team-mate, Jude Bellingham, was named in midfield alongside Barcelona star Rodri and PSG's Vitinha.
Arsenal's David Raya was named in goal, with Pau Cubarsi, Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes rounding things out in a back three.
Men's Fifpro World 11:
Goalkeeper: David Raya (Arsenal & Spain)
Defenders: Achraf Hakimi (PSG & Morocco), Pau Cubarsi (Barcelona & Spain), Nuno Mendes (PSG & Portugal)
Midfielders: Vitinha (PSG & Portugal), Rodri (Man City/Barcelona & Spain), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid & England)
Forwards: Lamine Yamal (Barcelona & Spain), Erling Haaland (Man City & Norway), Lionel Messi (Inter Miami & Argentina), Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid & France).
SEVEN WSL stars named in FIFPRO World 11
Seven players from the WSL have been named in the 2026 Women's FIFPRO World 11.
Over 6,500 women's footballers from 64 countries voted for their team of the year, which also included five of Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses.
Lucy Bronze earned a record-breaking ninth appearance in the XI, and is joined by Chelsea team-mate, goalkeeper Hannah Hampton.
Manchester City's Alex Greenwood also features in a backline that sees London City Lionesses defender Mapi Leon included.
Manchester United's Ella Toone joins a midfield that includes Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas and three-time recipient Aitana Bonmati. Arsenal striker Alessia Russo rounds out the WSL inclusions.
Barcelona defender Irene Paredes, forward Claudia Pina and Orlando Pride's Barbra Banda complete the XI.

foe the female division it's just unfair not to put Cata Col for GK, Patri Guijaro for Bonmati (who was injured most of the season) and Ewa Pajor who was break out scorer .

That’s your own opinion, personally i believe Mbappe is superior to him as is Olisse. Mbappe always turns up for the big games, Kane goes missing. My own opinion.
Kane had been a more consistent striker all round seasons for last few years

Kane wasn't even suppose to win the ball on dor Mbape deserved. he scored most of his goals in a non competitive league playing for Bayern who even before a game is kicked we know are gonna win the league, I think performances in competitions where all the competitors participate should have been considered more, especially that they all played at the world cup and in the champions, those were the best audition, it baffles me how they ignored all that and awarded Kane based on his performances in the bundesliga.
Mbappe won zero trophy

Erling Hallaand will always be better than Kane...Kane is just like Igor Thiago and Mbappe..they always get a lot of opportunities but they miss too much....I can't wait to see Erling wearing our number 9 shirt in Madrid if City get religated..but it's Manchester United first before City get religated..

Kane i believe won the Ballon’dor with sympathy votes. Olisse outshone him last season, and he’s doing it again this season. Plus he won POTY for Bayern last season.

Olisse was voted Bayern’s player of the season. And his performances this season have been superior to Kanes, he continually gets assists and goals and gives so much more to the team. Yamal is of similar nature. I personally don’t understand why people are moaning. I’ve always believed Kane won the Ballon’dor with sympathy votes.
so who did you think won the best player of La liga in the previous season, the same season that olise won best player in his league? Individually,Lamine is ahead of him collectively,Lamine is ahead of him too so pls explain why olise should be on the list while yamal shouldn't? or did you think those professional football players that voted are bias like you?

None sense. Since when teaming up Mbappe and Messi worked? What is Ronaldo doing in there? Is this the best senior 11??? Truth is you put Kane in Madrid he would shine. PSG he would shine. Barca he would shine. By being a work horse and Scoring goals. That simple.
Put Mbappe in Bayern and he’d rip the record book up, for it’s a 1 club league.
