The men's and women's finalists for the 2024 FIFPRO World 11 include soccer's biggest superstars at each position, voted by fellow players throughout the sport.
The annual FIFPRO World 11 compiles the best soccer players into a single, ultimate lineup. 26 men and 26 women all earned nominations for their outstanding performances from the summer of 2023 to the summer of 2024, but only 11 players from each shortlist will be honored in their respective FIFPRO World 11.
Professional soccer players from 70 countries across the globe all voted on the most worthy players to make the 2024 FIFPRO Men's World 11 and 2024 FIFPRO Women's World 11. The goalkeeper, three defenders, three midfielders and three forwards who receive the most votes will be featured in this year's World 11. The final spot goes to the outfield player with the next highest number of votes.
Of course, many of the Ballon d'Or and FIFA The Best finalists are also included on the World 11 shortlists, including Rodri, Vinícius Júnior, Aitana Bonmatí and Salma Paralluelo.
