The FIFPro Men’s World XI 2025 has been unveiled and it features emerging prodigies and established icons who defined the past football year.
This dream lineup brings together exceptional skill, creativity, and leadership in the ever-evolving brilliance of the modern game. Every player selected has not only excelled individually but also inspired fans with amazing performances.
At the back, Gianluigi Donnarumma stands tall between the sticks. His reflexes and composure have earned him yet another spot among the world’s elite. Ahead of him, Achraf Hakimi, Virgil van Dijk, and Nuno Mendes form a dynamic back three.
Their defensive solidity and attacking drive show why they are considered among the best in their positions. Together, they bring both power and precision to the defensive setup, seamlessly connecting defense and attack.
The midfield is where artistry meets dominance. Jude Bellingham, Pedri, Vitinha, and Cole Palmer command the centre with intelligence and vision. Each player contributes a unique style—Bellingham’s energy, Pedri’s creativity, Vitinha’s composure, and Palmer’s flair combine to strike a balanced yet dangerous quartet. Moreover, their ability to transition from defense to attack ensures that control remains firmly in their hands throughout a match.
