Aitana Bonmatí, the most voted in FIFPRO's Women's World 11

Barcelona midfielder Aitana Bonmatí is the most voted player in the FIFPRO World 11 Women 2026, the ideal XI picked by 6,511 professional players from 64 countries. According to Europa Press, Spanish football dominates the line-up with five players, and Bonmatí took 47.4% of the votes in her position. According to ESPN, her selection comes despite a season with fewer minutes after an injury: seven Liga F appearances and only one start in three Champions League games. Alexia Putellas also makes it, though with fewer votes than her teammate. Ewa Pajor misses out, despite being the Champions League top scorer with 11 goals and second in the Ballon d'Or race; she received only 10.5% of the votes for forwards. England's Ella Toone does make the XI, despite playing just 14 league games for Manchester United.
