FIFA has officially unveiled the final shortlist for The Best Men’s Player 2025 award, and Paris Saint-Germain dominates the lineup with four of its stars making the cut — a clear reflection of the club’s remarkable 2024–25 campaign.
The eleven nominees are: Vitinha, Achraf Hakimi, Ousmane Dembélé, and Nuno Mendes (all PSG); Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid); Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Raphinha (Barcelona); Harry Kane (Bayern Munich); Cole Palmer (Chelsea); and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool).
The prestigious award will be determined through a combination of votes from national team captains and coaches of FIFA’s 211 member associations, alongside contributions from journalists and fans voting via FIFA.com.
The eventual winner will follow in the footsteps of last year’s recipient, Vinícius Jr., with the award ceremony scheduled for December
