Real Madrid stars presented with FIFPRO World 11 trophies

Five Real Madrid stars have been presented with their FIFPRO Men’s World 11 trophies by a FIFPRO delegation in Madrid, Spain.

Jude Bellingham, Dani Carvajal, Kylian Mbappe, Antonio Rudiger and Vinicius Jr, as well as the now-retired Toni Kroos, were voted into the 2024 team of the year in December.

Over 21,000 professional men’s football players from 70 countries voted for their team of the year. Since 2005, FIFPRO has invited the world’s professional footballers to choose their World 11. It is the only global football award decided exclusively by the players.

Bellingham, Carvajal, Mbappe, Rudiger and Vinicius Jr received their World 11 trophies from Spanish player union (AFE) president David Aganzo, English player union (PFA) CEO Maheta Molango, French player union (UNFP) president David Terrier, and FIFPRO’s Director of Communications Alejandro Varsky.

Jude Bellingham received the most Men’s World 11 votes from his fellow professionals; the Real Madrid and England midfielder was selected 11,176 times.

A total of 87 players have appeared in the Men’s World 11 since 2005. Real Madrid are the club who have contributed the most Men’s World 11 players (60).

A trophy that truly celebrates the collective

Bellingham, Carvajal, Mbappe, Rudiger and Vinicius Jr were presented with the new-look World 11 trophy that truly captures the collective spirit of the World 11.

Each individual trophy is an elegant representation of the number ‘1’, symbolising that each player is, in the eyes of their peers, the best in their position on the pitch. When all 11 trophies come together, they form a larger prize representing the entire World 11—celebrating the power of the team.

Designed by the award-winning studio xCruza at their Argentinian base, the trophies when gathered form an Abrazo de Gol (Goal Hug) embodying the essence of football: a single gesture where the team's spirit merges.
