FIFA The Best 2025: The 11 nominees for the best player in the world award

 

After the Ballon d'Or, it's time for FIFA The Best. These awards recognize the best players of the season, and fans can vote for their favorites until the end of November on the website of the governing body of world football . Last season, Vinicius Jr. won this individual award, while Rodri, the Ballon d'Or winner, finished second. Jude Bellingham completed the podium.

And for this 2025 edition, unsurprisingly, several Parisian players are among the nominees for the Player of the Year award. Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé could thus achieve a remarkable double, as he is unsurprisingly nominated. The same is true for his teammates Achraf Hakimi , exceptional on PSG's right flank, and his counterpart on the left, Nuno Mendes, equally impressive. Finally, Vitinha is the fourth and final Parisian nominated, considered by many to be the best midfielder in the world.

A very beautiful crowd

FC Barcelona, who have swept all before them domestically, also have several representatives on the list. Lamine Yamal, runner-up in the Ballon d'Or, is sure to be well-placed. His club and national teammate Pedri is also a potential candidate, as is Raphinha, another key player in the titles won by Hansi Flick's team.

Kylian Mbappé, who's been in scintillating form at Real Madrid and continues to post monstrous statistics, is also on the list. And speaking of numbers, Harry Kane, lethal with Bayern Munich, is also nominated. Finally, Cole Palmer (Chelsea) and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) complete the list. The date of the ceremony has not yet been announced, but all indications are that it will take place in January 2026.
