Players vote for Bellingham again
Jude Bellingham has been named in the 2026 FIFPRO Men’s World 11, giving the Real Madrid and England midfielder a fourth consecutive selection in the global team chosen by professional players.
A sustained run of recognition
England’s football federation highlighted Bellingham’s performances for club and country, including his contribution at the 2026 World Cup. His latest selection places him ahead of Steven Gerrard in England players’ historical World 11 appearances, according to the federation.
What the award measures
FIFPRO’s team reflects votes for performances during a defined eligibility period, rather than a prediction of future form. The recognition confirms continued respect from Bellingham’s peers across the professional game.
