Barcelona stars Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, Pedri and Rodri have been shortlisted for the FIFPRO Men’s World 11, voted for by players across the world.
The trio have made the final 26-man shortlist ahead of the final World XI being announced on Monday November 9.
A total of 19,806 footballers in 73 countries have cast their vote, choosing their favorites from performances taking place between August 4, 2025 and July 19, 2026 (players must have appeared in at least 30 official matches during that timeframe
to be eligible).
Here’s a look at the list in full:
The final XI will feature a goalkeeper, three defenders, three midfielders and three forwards as well as the next outfield player with the most votes.
Pedri and Yamal made the FIFPro XI last year and will hope to make the cut again. Rodri and Cubarsi also have a good chance, particularly after being part of Spain’s World Cup winning squad.
