11月2日,体育新闻网站24直播报道,国际职业足球运动员联盟(FIFPRO)正式揭晓了2026年年度最佳阵容的26名候选人名单。阿根廷球星梅西与葡萄牙传奇C罗均成功入围。预计在11月9日的晚上9点,将揭晓最终由12人组成的阵容。在FIFPRO年度最佳阵容的入选次数上,梅西以17次的成绩高居榜首,而C罗则以15次紧随其后。

Since his initial induction in 2007, Lionel Messi has set a new standard by being named to the FIFPRO Team of the Year consecutively for 17 remarkable years. However, the previous year marked the end of this streak as he failed to make the cut. In the recent couple of seasons, Messi has once more been nominated for the prestigious team, marking his 20th appearance on the shortlist.

在2007年至2021年期间,C罗成功入选FIFPRO年度最佳阵容共15次,位居次席。在本年度,C罗再度被纳入最佳阵容的提名行列,这标志着他第18次获得这一荣誉的提名。

年度FIFPRO最佳阵容名单上,前五名球员入选次数居高不下。
