The 23 nominees for the FIFA World Selection, which will be determined as part of the upcoming “The Best FIFA Football Awards”, have been published by the world association. With Harry Kane, a player from the Bundesliga also made it onto the list.
In addition, two German national players can also claim to belong to the illustrious circle: Ilkay Gündogan from FC Barcelona and Antonio Rüdiger from Real Madrid.
They were put on the list by more than 28,000 professional footballers who were responsible for forming a world selection. The eleven of the year 2023 will be announced at the award ceremony on January 15th in London. It consists of a goalkeeper, three defenders, three midfielders and three strikers. Eleventh place goes to the field player with the next highest number of votes.
The performance between December 19, 2022 and August 20, 2023 is taken into account for the evaluation. This also applies to the election of the FIFA world footballer, which, among other things, will be determined on the same evening.
