Ballon d'Or winner Harry Kane left off FIFPRO men's team of year

Ballon d'Or 2026 winner Harry Kane was left out of the FIFPRO Men's World 11 despite making the shortlist, with votes cast by 19,806 professional footballers across 73 countries. The final team included Jude Bellingham, Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, and Lamine Yamal, with Messi featuring for a record 18th time and Yamal becoming the first player to appear twice as a teenager. Kane's Bayern Munich teammate Michael Olise and last year's Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé also missed out on selection.
