Harry Kane was a notable absentee from the FIFPRO men's team of the year while Jude Bellingham made the cut alongside Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal.
Kane was crowned the 2026 winner of the men's Ballon d'Or on Oct. 26 and made the shortlist for the FIFPRO Men's World 11.
But after counting the votes from 19,806 men's footballers from across 73 countries, Kane missed out on a spot in the team of the year as did his Bayern Munich teammate Michael Olise and last year's Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé.
Messi features for the 18th time, returning to the team after a three-year absence, while Spain and Barcelona star Yamal, who finished third in this year's Ballon d'Or vote, becomes the first player to feature in the team on two occasions as a teenager.
Mbappé finished second to Kane in the Ballon d'Or standings but he takes his place in the team in a forward line up which includes Manchester City's Norwegian striker Haaland, Messi and Yamal.
Elsewhere in midfield, Bellingham lines up alongside Barcelona's Rodri -- who was fourth in the Ballon d'Or standings -- and Paris Saint-Germain's Portuguese midfielder Vitinha.
Barcelona's Pau Cubarsí is picked alongside PSG duo Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes.
And Arsenal and Spain keeper David Raya is in goal.
Other notable absentees alongside Kane include PSG's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé, who finished sixth and seventh respectively in the Ballon d'Or standings.
