Ballon d’Or: Harry Kane makes unwanted history with FIFPRO World XI snub
Kane was named the 2026 Ballon d’Or winner following a remarkable campaign with club and country.
But his fellow professionals surprisingly left him out of the World XI when the lineup was announced on Monday.
Kane’s exclusion marks the first time since the FIFPRO World XI was introduced in 2005 that a reigning Ballon d’Or winner has failed to make the team.
Every previous Ballon d’Or winner had been included in the World XI in their year of victory.
The omission is particularly striking given Kane’s outstanding statistics in which he scored 73 goals in 65 appearances for England and Bayern.
