The global players' union FIFPro has announced its official World 11 for 2026, revealing the year's best performers as voted by professional footballers worldwide. Notably absent from the selection is England captain and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, who was overlooked despite a prolific season in front of goal.
The announcement was made on November 9, 2026. While the full lineup of the 11 players chosen for the team has not been detailed in the initial release, Kane's omission stands out given his consistent scoring record for both club and country over the past year.
FIFPro's World 11 is considered one of the sport's most prestigious honors because it is selected exclusively by fellow professionals. The snub of Kane, who has been a regular feature in previous years' teams, will likely spark debate among fans and pundits alike.
