Overview
- On July 31, 2026, French magazine Onze Mondial published the 11 nominees for the Onze d'Or and opened the public vote on its website.
- Lamine Yamal received a second consecutive nomination and enters the fan vote as a leading contender after an outstanding season capped by a World Cup win.
- The shortlist reunites last year’s winner Ousmane Dembélé with elite names such as Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, Bruno Fernandes, Michael Olise and others.
- Supporters can also vote for an ideal World XI in which Barcelona have strong representation with Yamal, Pedri and Pau Cubarsí among the candidates.
- The Onze d'Or is decided entirely by supporters rather than journalists and Yamal’s narrow 2025 runner-up finish by roughly 2.5 percentage points to Dembélé sharpens the direct rivalry driving this year’s public poll.
