England’s Lucy Bronze has made football history by earning her eighth selection in the FIFPRO Women’s World XI, setting a new record for most appearances in the lineup. Her latest inclusion highlights her extraordinary consistency and cements her place among the sport’s all-time greats. England dominate the list with six players featured, showcasing the country’s strength in women’s football.
Across the men’s game, Barcelona’s 18-year-old Lamine Yamal has also carved his name into the record books by becoming the youngest player ever selected for the FIFPRO Men’s World XI, breaking the previous benchmark held by Kylian Mbappé.
This year’s line-ups reflect a striking blend of enduring icons and rising stars. Voted on exclusively by more than 26,000 professional footballers across 68 countries, the FIFPRO World XI stands out as the only global award chosen by the players themselves.
