The FIFPRO Men: The FIFPRO Men’s World 11 and FIFPRO Women’s World 11 have been revealed, after over 28,000 professional footballers from 70 countries exercised their vote to select the team of the year from 26 players who received the most votes from their peers for their performances between August 21, 2023, to July 14 2024.
Six Real Madrid players, including the now-retired Toni Kroos, and four Manchester City stars were included in the 2024 Men’s World 11, with Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, Ederson and Rodri registering their debuts. Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk, making his fourth World 11 appearance, is the only player not from Real or City to be voted into the 2024 men’s team of the year.
The Women’s World 11 with Lucy Bronze, Mary Earps, Alex Greenwood, Lauren James and Keira Walsh being selected by their fellow professionals; Bronze’s inclusion means the defender equals the current women’s appearance record (7) which she shares with France’s Wendie Renard.
