Premier League trio named in FIFPro Men's World 11

Donnarumma, Van Dijk and Palmer in line-up along with other global stars including Bellingham and Dembele

Three Premier League players have been named in the prestigious FIFPro Men's World 11 for 2025, recognising their performances and achievements in the 2024/25 season.

Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who played for Paris Saint-Germain in 2024/25, Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk and Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer are the trio from England's top flight. They are joined in the global line-up by stars including England and Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham and Paris Saint-Germain and France forward Ousmane Dembele.

FIFPro is the global players' union, and the team was voted for by over 20,000 professional footballers in multiple countries, based on performances from 15 July 2024 to 3 August 2025. Players must have appeared in at least 30 official matches in that period.

The goalkeeper, three defenders, three midfielders and three forwards with the most votes in their position made it into the World 11. The 11th place in the side was given to the outfield player with the next highest number of votes.

Van Dijk, Bellingham and Real Madrid's France international forward Kylian Mbappe are the only three players in the 2025 team who were also selected in last year's FIFPro World 11.
