The best world XI, voted for by 19,806 players, without any Ballon d'Or winners.

FIFPRO's 2026 Team of the Year was announced on Monday, and it does not include Harry Kane.

This is the first time since 2005 that the XI has not included a Ballon d'Or winner.

There was room in attack for players such as Erling Haaland, Lionel Messi, Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé. Kane, meanwhile, fell short by 0.7 percent of the votes.

The XI also includes a goalkeeper, three midfielders and three defenders.
